For the non Swedish speakers .. here's a rough translation (not exact but to give the general gist!)...
"The patient or any other person that is mentioned in the patients file, can apply or can ask to have the file, or parts of the files destroyed. [the government office] will decide if the file or part of file will be destroyed. For this to happen there has to be good acceptable reasons. The reasons would be that the file or the part of the file that are asked to be destroyed are not obviously needed for the patient care, or from a general point of view there is no obvious reasons to keep it. Before the application to have the [file / part of] destroyed, the person who is responsible for the file has the chance to make comment. If [the government office] has dismissed a request to destroy the patients file, the decision can be appealed in a general court of law. If [the government office] consents with the request (to destroy the file or part of the file), the decision can not be appealed. (then something about you can appeal to another court but you must have a permit)." Hth, Allen.
