Personal information collected relates to your care and support; your name, address, contact details and the nature of your concerns, family history and the support you have received, for example, keeping in touch with you and for organising assistance, like court support.
Personal information in paper or electronic format us kept under strict security but sometimes we need to use or disclose information. For example, for referral or to ensure you receive appropriate follow-up care. QHVSG also needs to meet funding requirements.
