Clause 9
MR BERRY (Minister for Health, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (11.49): I move:
Page 5, lines 13 and 14, omit "an epidemiological", substitute "a prescribed".
Mrs Carnell: So you can say it.
MR BERRY: Mrs Carnell says, "So you can say it". If you have a preoccupation with drugs and other sinister things, as Michael and Mrs Carnell do, you get used to saying these things. I will be moving a later amendment, Madam Speaker, whereby the words "an epidemiological study" will be replaced by "a prescribed study". This amendment will clarify the application of clauses 4, 6 and 8, which relate directly to a prescribed study rather than an epidemiological study. It will also ensure that people are not required to use that word so often.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 10
MR MOORE (11.51): I am fortunate that this amendment does not have the words "epidemiological", "epidemiology" or "epidemiologist" in it; so I do not have to pronounce them. I move:
Page 5, line 30, add at the end "in its application to a prescribed study conducted by, or on behalf of, the Territory".
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 11 agreed to.
Proposed new clause 11A
MR BERRY (Minister for Health, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (11.52): I move:
Page 6, line 8, after clause 11 insert the following clause:
Information supplied for prescribed study
"11A. Information concerning the affairs of a person to whom a prescribed study relates may be disclosed to a person assisting in the conduct of that study without breach of any law or any principle of professional ethics.".
This will protect those undertaking prescribed studies from civil action.
