I move amendment No. 22:

In page 12, line 3, to delete “information” and substitute “records”.

This is my only amendment in this grouping. It would delete the word "information" and insert "records" in its place. This would remove the ambiguity around language. People's medical information is their personal data and they have a fundamental right under EU law to access those data, and not merely information contained in a record for which a person may apply. GDPR law makes it clear that medical data should be released, not information contained in the data.
