I also fully support this amendment. I would like to clarify the reference to registered medical practitioner. A pathologist is a registered medical practitioner and I presume that the pathologists would request this information. Is this understood? Heretofore, there has not been a mandatory release of full hospital records to pathologists and it has been a significant weakness. There is ample evidence of where this has not been done.
