    "content": "The Bill also sets out to regulate the practice of health records and information management. This will enhance the level of professionalism in this area. We have had a lot of problems in this area, because there are times patients have been attended to by practitioners in certain facilities, particularly the private ones, and the moment they want to go to other facilities to seek better medical attention, getting records has been very difficult. That is why I will be requesting that as we discuss this Bill, we deliberately make it mandatory that a patient or his or her family be given information that they may require. Access to information should be allowed as provided for in Article 35 of the Constitution. This Bill also provides for a Board to regulate and approve the syllabus that will be used for training of these practitioners. Sometimes we have had people operating without an approved syllabus. I believe the Ministry of Health, or the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD), will be given the mandate to ensure that these people are properly trained in approved courses. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
