In the Netherlands the deadlines are more complicated also. I presented a simplified version of the regulations, for the discussion sake this is not important.
In fact it is so the the health care provider loses the responsibility to maintain the data after 15 years of inactivity, and the patient can already demand for removal after 5 years. But it is different when the patient is under 18, and it is also different if the health care provider is in employer relation to the patient. I don't know what is meant there, but that is what the regulations say. However, both can agree that the data will be maintained for longer time, for example in case of hereditary diseases.
