I wish to ask about involuntary admission and access to records. If someone from Cork is admitted in Dublin, what is the current legislation on access to records? I am aware of a case where someone from another EU state was admitted and the medical services in that country would not release the records, causing significant difficulty for the medical team to deal with it. What is the situation with current legislation and changes that are being made regarding access to records where the person is admitted in a totally different part of the country?
