112JA: Further provisions relating to NCSP information

You could also call this:

"Rules for using and sharing National Cervical Screening Programme information"

If you want to see or use information about a woman from the National Cervical Screening Programme, you can do so with her consent or her personal representative's consent. You can also access, use, or share this information if you are following the rules set out in this part of the law, such as in section 112J, and other sections like sections 112Q, 112X, 112Y, and 112ZE. The person in charge of the programme can set conditions for accessing the register to keep the information private and secure.

You cannot change the information in the register unless the programme manager says you can. The programme manager is in charge of deciding who can change the information and under what conditions. This helps keep the information accurate and secure.
