To delete section 36 and substitute the following: “Obligation to inform patient of right to make request for Part 5 review

36.(1) A health services provider shall, in relation to a patient in respect of whom a cancer screening is to be or is being carried out, inform the patient in writing, either before or at the time that it carries out the cancer screening on that patient, of his or her right to make a request under section 35for a Part 5review.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), a health services provider shall, in relation to patients in respect of whom a cancer screening has, on or after the commencement of this section, been carried out by the health services provider establish and implement procedures for the further provision of the information given under subsection (1)to those patients in respect of their right to make a request for a Part 5review under and in accordance with section 35.
