It sounds more likely to be an administrative issue than them wanting to stop you seeing them. (Although in some cases they can with-hold highly distressing information, it doesn't sound like this is the reason in this case.)
Is it possible that their office keeps the initial referrals in a separate place not with individual patients notes?
For the future you could ask your GP if you can have a copy of any letters he/she writes concerning you. My GP asks if I want to be copied in anyway - so it can't be a particularly unusual practise.
