It would not be our understanding that the amendment would be interpreted differently for somebody who was not represented as compared to somebody who was represented. The point we are trying to make is that unfortunately at present copies of reports end up in very inappropriate forums and then one has the fallout from that. What we were trying to say is that people should be able to access the report and have assistance to do so, if they need it, for example if they have learning difficulties but that they would not be able to take the report away physically. This is fairly commonplace. There may be fallout and it could have repercussions for that person because the information is still out there in an inappropriate forum.
