@bbcnews: For those who’ve been adopted or grew up in care, it’s not always easy getting access to family medical history. NHS England says that depending on the circumstances of an adoption there may be a need to "protect from disclosure any information about a third party”. #NHS #Health #Adoption #Care #BBCNews

Sinèad Kenny🦋 :

I don’t talk to mine so how would I know. They have access to it so they should stop asking people

Ayani :

I don't even know my father and his half of the family.. living is a gamble 😅

Jess :

It’s just not adoptive kids, there’s kids with one parents or the parents died when the kid was young. So not all of us even know our family history. We should be able to see a parents or grandparents history when they die to protect us.

GrahamR🇮🇪🇪🇺 :

Or just diagnose thouroughly…

ꨄ :

I asked my mom and she said nothing so idk

Adoptee Rights UK - SAAM :

The GP holds pre adoption medical information. Nobody has the right to anyone else’s medical information… appeal to the court (the route is there) what is not being talking about is how we UPDATE. This report is missing the actual structural problems.

numbersletters03 :

Nope not when the majority are dead and the only living parent hasn’t a sodding clue!

No. But I'm adopted so that comes with the territory. Why dwell on the past

Honigbienchen :

Nope

Charlie Peebs :

I was in the foster system from age 9 onwards. I have no idea about my family medical history

Faceless Ash :

so currently that information is easier to access for hackers than the patients in some cases
