Ok, so I have been on sick leave for a few months from my job and have had quite a number of sick notes from my doctor. I have had quite a traumatic few months and although I have tried to photocopy most of the notes before posting to my employer some have slipped the net.
I am currently fighting a legal case and my solicitor has asked for copies of all sick notes, so after searching the house today I am missing a few. I telephoned my doctor today, spoke to her direct and asked for duplicate copies and after arguing with me on the phone she refused on the grounds she is too busy to be making copies!!! Is she allowed to do this ??? It has really angered me as they are medical documents about myself so surely I should be allowed access to them right ?? Does anyone know anymore on this and can offer some advice please, I am thinking of telephoning again tomorrow and speaking to a different doctor but think I may be wasting my time, I am also going to try telephoning my employers pay roll department and asking if they possibly would send me duplicate copies but have a feeling they are going to tell me to go to my doctor ...
Any advice appreciated, thank you guys xx
