The timescale is very important. Families and individuals who have been trying to access their information have come up against barriers. We must ensure this is right. We all want to do it right but timing is of the utmost importance here and is a priority for me. If there are issues with this legislation, they need to be addressed. Now is the time to ensure we have proper legislation. People might not want to access their information but people who do want their information should be able to access it without facing barrier after barrier.
