Your right to object
If you don't like the idea
You have a right to object at any time – it’s your decision.
But please think carefully before doing this. Objecting will mean the services giving you care will be unable to view your records from other services.
That could mean information that could be vital when you need health or social care support – for instance, during a visit to a hospital Emergency Department – might not be immediately to hand as a result.
Some things to note
- If you are aged 16 or above, we will process your ‘right to object’ form by carrying out our normal checks on the details you have given us.
- From the age of 13 to 16, we will consider your right to object if your form has been signed on your behalf by someone with parental responsibility.
- If it has not, we will ask a recognised health or care professional if they consider you to be competent to make such a decision.
- If you are under the age of 13, we will only consider your right to object if your form has been signed on your behalf by someone with parental responsibility.
If you do want to object, you can object using the Coventry and Warwickshire Health and Care Partnership website.
Please note: if you are objecting on behalf of someone else, or are under the age of 16, do not use this online form. Please complete the postal form instead.
If you need help, please email collaborative.care.record@nhs.net or call 0345 646 1163.
Please note, the ICR is different to anything you might have said no to before. So, if you don’t want your records to be available to view through the ICR, you’ll need to object.
