Hi, my son has been referred to the Orthoptic department at his local hospital. I initially spoke with the leader of that department and she asked me to bring in proof that my son resides with me, like a Court Order. She said she wouldnt be there when we had our appointment, and she wasnt. So we go to the appointment and i give them the Court Order which says that my son is to reside with me. Today i get a text message saying that an appointment has been scheduled to see the department leader in person. Would this just be to verify who i am? They have our address and the Court order and the other staff have seen me and my son. This has all come about because i requested that my sons mothers' details be removed from their systems, this is because she could get our new address and start making pointless drama for no reason, just to do it. Now im having to jump through all these data and privacy hoops which im not sure a single mother would be requested to jump through. Is this normal?
Hi,
Is it not possible for mothers details to still be on their system, and they keep your address confidential?
@bill337
Apparently not.
I asked this and she said that without context and specific reasons, no. If my ex were to ring up and ask for the address i believe they can disclose it.
Also the court order and stuff that i send goes to SAFEGUARDING. Why is this?
Maybe im just overly worrying. Sometimes i get these rises of anxiety. Sorry.
