Please compare and contrast the differences between the obligations and legislative responsibilities that each of the following types of agencies must adhere to when collecting, holding, disclosing, and sharing medical and health information:
1. New Zealand Public Service Agency
2. New Zealand State Sector Agency
3. New Zealand Health Agency
Yours faithfully,
