  • To clarify - Letters from GP for DV case !!

    Hi all,
    I need some advice . I became a victim of Domestic Violence and reported many incidents to my GP who then recorded all in medical notes. When I needed a letter from my GP explaining my dv , my GP asked me to go to the Lead GP to get the letter. So I met Lead GP and he gave me a letter after reading my medical notes. The letter signed by Lead GP above the Name of my GP's name. i.e. say, My GP name is Mr. SXXXXR..who did not sign but Signed by Lead GP , MR. MxxxxxM.. I also was charged a nominal fee .

    Then after some months I needed an other letter so that I requested the letter and was given by the same Lead GP , putting his signature and official stamp on the letter. So its confirmed that the letter was issued by Lead GP. In this letter , the Lead Gp, mentioned confirming that the earlier letter was issued by my GP ,Mr.SXXXXR ,even though my GP ddnt sign that letter.

    In the 2 letters , we can see , 2 GPs names with same signatures (only Lead GP's sign). I need to send to the court . I dont have a solicitor for my family case. What I want to clarify and confirm ;

    1. does the 'Lead GP' has authority to sign other Doctors letter who works in his Clinic are legally acceptable ?

    2. will this signatures of 'Lead GP' in two letters make my case against partner , create any suspicion of Genuineness or invalidity of letters ?


    Please kindly advise . My advance thanks for all replies.

    Hi VCDMC,

    Please don't worry the GP whether the 'lead' or your allocated one have presumably indicated having considered your medical records they can confirm that you attended for xyz. The letter is confirming your attendance in relation to issues surrounding a domestic violence situation.

    This is usual, as you can imagine GP's time is precious so it is very common for another GP in the practice to deal. The letter is headed notepaper I assume and confirms what information they have been asked to provide.

    Did the Court request the information and did they stipulate in what format this should be or are you obtaining the evidence to support an application yourself?

    Hopefully this helps.
    I am a qualified solicitor and am happy to try and assist informally, where needed.

    If in doubt you should always seek professional face to face legal advice.
