I fully acknowledge the difficulties created by the Health Access Regulations.I and my officials have consulted with the Office of the Attorney General and the Data Protection Commission. Following that consultation, I am giving consideration to the making of new Regulations at an early date.

I have raised the particular difficulties encountered with the Regulations in respect of the health data in the Commission’s archives with relevant Government colleagues and I am working with colleagues to address the issue as a matter of priority.
