Subject: Official Information request - Informed Consent #36 - PCR Data

 

Dear Institute of Environmental Science and Research Limited,

 

The Ministry of Health has referred me to your organisation to answer the
below please:

 

What do you do with the genetic material you collect from each person for
PCR test purposes.

 

Is the information kept or destroyed?

 

If it's destroyed then how long after you receive the genetic material?

 

If it's kept then where is it kept?

 

And who has access to it?

 

Do you use it for any other purposes than screening for Covid-19?

 

Who is responsible for safeguarding this process?”

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Annie Weston
