Is the name of the patient’s GP required on an in-hospital referral?

Context

On an internal referral written by a Specialist/ Physician does the patients GP details have to be written as per the Health Insurance Regs Section 99. As it is an internal referral the patient is already being treated in the same facility and would have already named their GP and have their GP recorded on their file.
