The reason for this amendment is that while it is important that people will be able to view the reports, there is a fear that with the use of social media nowadays things end up in incorrect forums. We believe that people have the right to read the report. Should a person have additional needs and need a person to assist him or her in reading a report, the person should be able to have access to the report, but not have an actual copy, given the nature of things that had gone on in the past.
