Can my partner or family receive medical information or accompany me in health decisions?

Yes, with confidentiality rules and without any discrimination. Medical records are confidential. The law allows copies to be given to the client or his/her legal representative, and limits access to those authorised by law. If the partner, family member or support network is authorised to receive such information, the authorisation must be clear and verifiable (in writing and, if possible, incorporated in the clinical history or in care documents).
