In Part 8, there is provision for putting a legal obligation on the health service provider to provide an individual set of records to another health professional at the request of the individual and on making the buying and selling of personal health information by anyone other than the individual concerned an offence. I welcome all of that. With regard to somebody who is in a coma, not able-bodied to make the decision on next of kin or partner, is that standard or would it be included in the records? Can organ donations and other issues be linked into those records? Has that been considered?
