  Summary: The complainant asks to be provided with a copy of his old medical file.

  Consideration 10

  Extract:

  [I]n its opinion the IAC noted that, while there were no explicit legal provisions that could justify the complainant’s request for the Organisation to provide or procure such a file in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal’s case law recognises that a staff member has the right to consult and be sent medical reports concerning her or him. The IAC rightly concluded that the Office had failed to ensure that files were properly retained, even after the external doctors with whom it had previously worked had ceased their activity. This obligation stems from the general duty of care and the Office’s duty adequately to safeguard the personal data of its staff.
