The beneficiary, cohabitee or partner in a civil solidarity pact of a deceased person who wishes to have access to medical information concerning this person, under the conditions provided for in the ninth paragraph of article L. 1110-4, must specify, when making their request, the reason why they need to know this information. Reasons must be given for any refusal of a request made to this entitled person, cohabitee or partner in a civil solidarity pact.
This refusal does not prevent a medical certificate from being issued, where applicable, provided that the certificate does not contain information covered by medical confidentiality.
