Part 4: The Health Services Safety Investigations Body Reports Section 115: Draft reports
Before publishing a final or interim report, the HSSIB:
must circulate a draft of the report to any person who the HSSIB reasonably believes could be adversely affected by the report, or where that person has died to the person who the HSSIB believes represents their best interest (if any) (under section 115(1)(a));
may send a draft report to any other person who the HSSIB believes should be provided with a draft (under section 115(1)(b));
must notify every person to whom a draft report has been sent that they have the opportunity to comment before a specified deadline. If a person’s comments are not taken into account, the HSSIB must explain to the person why this is (under section 115(3) and (4)).
