National Cervical Screening Programme - Duties to provide information to screening programme evaluators

112ZC: Duty of persons who hold specimens

You could also call this:

"People in charge of labs must give health information and specimens to evaluators for free when asked."

If you are in charge of a laboratory or a place where specimens are kept, you must give a screening programme evaluator any health information and specimens they need. This is so the evaluator can do their job, and it must be free of charge. The information and specimens must be about a relevant woman.

You will be told how to give the health information or specimens by the Director-General, who will send you a written notice. The Director-General will say what format the information or specimens must be in.

You must follow the Director-General's instructions and provide the information or specimens in the way they say.
