National Cervical Screening Programme - Review of NCSP and duty of Director-General to report

112Q: Review committee's access to information

You could also call this:

"What information a review committee can get and how they must keep it secret"

When you are part of a review committee, you can ask for information from the NCSP that is relevant to what you are reviewing. The NCSP manager must give you the information you ask for. You can use this information to help with your review.

The NCSP manager has to keep some information secret, as stated in section 112J. This means that when you get information from the NCSP, you must keep it secret too. You have to follow the same secrecy rules as the NCSP manager.
