The applicant may choose to obtain the information requested from the health professional or health institution, either by consulting it on site, with copies of documents being provided where appropriate, or by sending copies of the documents. The cost of providing these copies is to be borne by the applicant under the conditions set out in article L. 1111-7 .
If the information requested is held by a health institution and if the technical facilities of the institution allow this, the applicant may also consult all or part of the information in question electronically.
In the case of a request for on-site consultation addressed to a health care institution, the applicant is informed of the medical support arrangements organised by the institution under the conditions set out in article R. 1112-1.
Copies are drawn up on a medium similar to that used by the health professional or health institution, or on paper, at the choice of the applicant and within the limits of the technical possibilities of the professional or organisation concerned.
