Amendment No. 40 is about the impact of such disclosures. Amendment No. 41 deals with the risk of harm to the person to whom the record relates. These are sensitive matters concerning the personal medical and therapeutic records of people giving evidence in a criminal case. They need to be treated with the greatest possible sensitivity. For that reason, I welcome the fact the Minister of State has indicated he will look at these for Report Stage and bring amendments to the House in that regard.
