112Z: Duties of persons to whom evaluation material is supplied by screening programme evaluator

You could also call this:

"Using screening programme evaluation material: follow the rules to keep it safe and private"

If someone gives you evaluation material for a screening programme, you must use it only for the reason they gave it to you. You have to keep the material safe so it does not get shared with others. When you no longer need the material, you must return it to the person who gave it to you and destroy any copies you made. You also need to keep any specimens in a safe place to preserve them and return them when you are finished with them. This rule is affected by what is said in section 112ZE. You have to follow these rules if you get evaluation material under section 112Y(2)(a).
