Please read the following BEFORE signing the form attached to this page.
Under the Access to Medical Reports Act 1988 (or the Access to Personal Files and Medical Reports (Northern Ireland) Order 1991) UKSV requires your consent to see a medical report. If you consent in this form, we will write to inform you that we have requested a report and you will have 21 days from the date of our letter in which to ask your doctor, occupational health advisor or specialist to let you see the report before it is forwarded to us.
In order to assess your suitability for clearance, the United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) Vetting Medical Advisors (VMA) need to contact your doctor(s) and/or anyone else who has provided medical assessment, investigation or treatment for a medical report/record and/or any additional information regarding your medical history.
This medical report/record and/or any additional information, together with any medical questionnaires that you have already completed or are asked to complete during the course of your vetting case will be considered by UKSV’s Vetting Staff and VMAs who are directly involved in advising on your suitability to hold a clearance. Your medical information may also need to be considered by the Senior Decision Maker(s) in the organisation that has asked UKSV to carry out your vetting. These individuals will be bound by the same obligations as UKSV staff to maintain the confidentiality of the vetting process.
