I move amendment No. 63:

In page 20, line 36, to delete “Subject to subsection (7), a relevant person” and substitute “A relevant person”.

These amendments seek to negate the potential of the effectiveness of Part 4 being undermined in circumstances where data holders may seek to rely on the GDPR or other statutory provisions to refuse to comply with a request under Part 4. As mentioned previously, this Bill complements and builds on data protection legislation and suitable and specific safeguards have been incorporated in this regard. The amendment also better aligns with the European health data space, EHDS, regulation, which defines electronic health data and health data holders very broadly.
