I go for a full blood test every year being diabetic. The results are always on the NHS app about 2 days later.
Have looked on the app Mr Spock and nothing.....just wanted to know do they have the right to with hold my results b4 I chat to a doctor?

Whether a hospital can withhold them from you before your GP sees them depends on:
The hospital's policies.
How the results are being communicated (for example, through an online patient portal versus directly from the consultant).
Whether the clinician believes immediate release could cause serious harm (which is a relatively uncommon exception).
If you've been told, "You can't have the results until you speak to your GP," it's often because:
The GP has been asked to discuss them with you.
The hospital doctor wants your GP to explain the findings and arrange any follow-up.
If you're concerned, you can contact the hospital department that ordered the tests and ask:
"I'd like a copy of my blood test results. Are they available, and if not, why are they being withheld until I speak with my GP?"
