Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to drop the amendment. Initially, I thought that if we have a Corporation Secretary who is defined in this Bill, it contradicts other parts of this Bill, which says that the Board will have flexibility to determine the staffing. After consultation, I think it is important to retain Clause 13

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move: THAT Clause 16 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (e) - (f) a comprehensive and effective data governance and management structure. The import of this amendment is that this clause talks about the components of the system. However, it has omitted the very important component of a system, which is security and data management. So, I am proposing to include another additional component of a comprehensive and effective data governance and management structure. It is because we cannot have this kind of system without ...

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT clause 21 of the Bill be amended - (a) in subclause (1) by deleting the word “Director-General” appearing immediately after the words “consultation with the” and substituting therefore the words “Board and the Council of County Governors”; and (b) in subclause (2) by inserting the words “in consultation with Board and the Council of County Governors” immediately after the words “Cabinet Secretary shall” appearing in the introductory clause.

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move THAT clause 23 of the Bill be amended in subclause (1) by deleting the words “Cabinet Secretary” appearing immediately after the word “The” and substituting therefor the word “Agency”. The import of this amendment is that somewhere in this Bill, it clearly says the custodian of data will be the agency. However, in this case in Clause 23, it says - “The Cabinet Secretary shall ensure the health data is used for public good.” I think that obligation should fall on the person who is the custodian of data and in this case ...

The import of this amendment is similar to Clause 21, because the duties ...
