All medical information is already available under the provisions of the Bill. Vaccines are covered either under the medical information category or the early life category. The amendment states "When a relevant person applies under sections 11 and 12 for information". Section 11 deals with the "Relevant body to provide early life, care information or incorrect birth registration information". Section 12 again concerns early life or care information. The amendment seeks to ensure that when adopted persons look for early life and care information, they also get medical information, whether they applied for it or not. There is already a right to apply for information in the legislation. That will provide all medical information about the person that is on file. This seeks to tie the release of medical information to other categories of information when the person has not sought it.
