Woman denied bid to amend late partner's drinking history in medical report gets decision quashed in court

Medical record of deceased, who suffered liver cirrhosis, showed he drank some 40 units of alcohol a week when he was younger

The late man's partner said the records 'incorrectly' included a reference to his alcohol intake.

The High Court has quashed a decision of the Information Commissioner to refuse a woman's request to amend her deceased's partner's medical record that he drank some 40 units of alcohol a week when he was younger.

Her partner, who suffered from liver cirrhosis, died on September 28, 2017.
