I have already performed a PDS and SDS lookups for a patient with no issues. On connecting to GP Connect to retrieve an ARHTML record I get an “PARTYKEY\_INTERACTION\_CHECK\_FAILED\_MESSAGERECEIVER” error response.

Full response message:

`{`  
`"id": "a5179d49-9c7c-47c6-a8be-fdf11e7f0f0e",`  
`"issue": [`  
`{`  
`"code": "forbidden",`  
`"details": {`  
`"coding": [`  
`{`  
`"code": "403",`  
`"display": "PARTYKEY_INTERACTION_CHECK_FAILED_MESSAGERECEIVER_200000034787",`  
`"system": "``http://fhir.nhs.net/ValueSet/gpconnect-schedule-response-code-1-0``"`  
`}`  
`]`  
`},`  
`"diagnostics": "PARTYKEY_INTERACTION_CHECK_FAILED_MESSAGERECEIVER_200000034787",`  
`"severity": "error"`  
`}`  
`],`  
`"resourceType": "OperationOutcome"`  
`}`

According to [Error handling - NHS England Digital](https://digital.nhs.uk/services/gp-connect/develop-gp-connect-services/development/error-handling) this is because the Receiver ASID isn’t authorised? Does this mean that the patients record is restricted? Or is there another issue? Should this be considered a permanent restriction?

Look ups for other patients from the same system work with no issues.

Hi Paul,

This appears to be an **GP Connect-specific** question rather than an NHS England API Platform issue.

Unfortunately, the API Platform team doesn’t have visibility of ASID authorisation or Party Key information.

I would recommend raising this with the **GP Connect team** on the Developer community for GP Connect queries:

> **[GP Connect](https://developer.community.nhs.uk/c/sharing-clinical-data/gp-connect-fhir/18)**
>
> GP Connect is a suite of capabilities that allows authorised health and social care workers in a variety of care settings to access their patients’ GP records.

Or developers can contact the GP Connect team at:\*\* [gpconnect@nhs.net](mailto:gpconnect@nhs.net)\*\* or raise a request via the NSD. Details below:

- NHS National Service Desk
- Email: [ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net](mailto:ssd.nationalservicedesk@nhs.net)
- Telephone: 0300 303 5035

Thanks,

**NHS England API Platform team**
