Ms O’Connor might put herself in the shoes of a patient for a second. If a patient is looking for the information and, in the scenario Ms O'Connor has painted, the medical practitioner believes they need to have a conversation with that patient first, is that then communicated to the patient immediately to say the reason they cannot be given this is that the medical practitioner wants to see the patient? How does it work in practice?
