Health Act 1956

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

112ZD: Duty of hospitals

You could also call this:

"Hospitals must give needed health information to screening programme evaluators for free."

If you are in charge of a hospital, you must give a screening programme evaluator any health information and specimens they need to do their job. This information and these specimens must be about a relevant woman and you must give them for free. You will give them what they need so they can perform their functions.

The Director-General can tell you how to give the health information or specimens to the screening programme evaluator. They will do this by sending you a written notice that says how and in what form you must provide the information or specimens.

You must then give the health information or specimens in the way and form the Director-General told you to, as per the notice they sent you, which is based on the law, found on the New Zealand legislation website.
