Here are the people and places you should reach out to, plus contact details that will help:\n\n---\n\n### Who to Speak To\n\n1. **Your Ward**  \n   If you remember which ward or department you were in during your hospital stay, contacting that ward directly can speed things up. They often have the records and can initiate sending the summary.\n\n2. **Medical Records / Health Records Office**  \n   This department is responsible for maintaining patient files. They're the ones who usually handle discharge summaries if they weren\u2019t sent out.\n\n3. **Access to Information Office (Subject Access / FOI / GDPR Request)**  \n   If regular channels don\u2019t work, you can submit a formal request under the hospital\u2019s Access to Information policies. This includes subject access requests to get copies of your records. ([stjames.ie](https://www.stjames.ie/services/corporateaffairs/accesstoinformation/?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Patient Experience Office**  \n   If you\u2019re having trouble getting the information you need, they may help advocate on your behalf.

Do you remember which one?"
