WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY K.M. WILSON OF ST. CLEMENT
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 17th NOVEMBER 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 24th NOVEMBER 2025
Question
"Will the Minister outline what advice, if any, was sought from and provided by the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner regarding access by private medicinal cannabis clinics to patients' confidential medical records; and will the Minister explain how patient privacy and data security are safeguarded under these circumstances?"
Answer
Advice has, to date, not been sought from the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner. The refinement of the process to provide private medicinal cannabis clinics with patients' relevant medical records is still ongoing.
GPs are the data controllers for patient's GP records, and I have been and will continue to work with the Primary Care Governance Board and the Primary Care Systems Board, to ensure patient privacy and data security.
