What to do when GP not co operative

My problem was that I had an accident at work, dealt with via insurance as it was a road traffic accident, thus all private med stuff. All finished and dusted in 1999, hence no paperwork, records, anything on my NHS GP /Records.
IB since 1999, DLA HC/HM since 2007.
My current GP states he cannot help cos no records. I have given him a few bits and peices I have from private doctors/consultants which he has said he alludes to in my letter to help re SG, but it is all to vague and not really helpful.
There must be others out there that maybe are in a similiar situation, or someone that can give me an idea of another route.
All old doctors/ consultants dead or moved.premises closed etc etc.
Am at my wits end

Hi PCM,

We cannot deal with accidents at work, at is not within our remit.

However, if you accident at work was dealt with via insurance, then they should have records, or the solicitor who dealt with your claim if you used one.

Also, even if you've changed GP's your medical records are sent to any subsequent GP's. I recently accessed my GP's records and I've moved 16 times in 43 years of marriage, but my current GP has my records going back to 1966.

Also, if a hospital treated you for an accident, they should hold records on you.

I was diagnosed with MS in 1986 at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Nevertheless, those records are still stored there as we've recently had an MS Specialist Nurse appointed in my area, and she was able to get copies of my medical records without any problem.

You need to see your current GP and ask them what's happened to your old medical records, some of which may still be in hard copy, more recent records are usually on a computer database.

Good luck.

Jim
