Oral requests
4 An applicant may make an oral request for access to a record if

Responding to requests
6 Where a person is given access to a record, the head of the public

than the opportunity to examine it on site, if the head is of the opinion
that
(
a) allowing examination of the record would unreasonably
interfere with the operations of the public body,
(
b) allowing examination of the record might result in the
disclosure of information that the head must refuse to
disclose or has exercised discretion to refuse to disclose
under the Act, or

c) allowing examination of the record might result in the
disclosure of information where that disclosure is restricted
or prohibited by an enactment or a provision of an enactment

(1) must not use the information except for the purposes described in that
subsection.
(3) The head of the public body must require an expert to whom
information will be disclosed under subsection (1) to enter into an
agreement relating to the confidentiality of the information, which
must address the return of or disposal of a copy of any record given to
the expert that contains the information.
(4) If a copy of a record containing information relating to the mental
or physical health of an individual is given to an expert for
examination, the expert must, after giving the opinion referred to in
subsection (1), return the copy of the record to the head of the public
body or dispose of it in accordance with an agreement under
subsection (3).
(5) The head of the public body that has custody or control of the
record may require an applicant who makes a request for access to a
record containing information relating to the applicant's mental or
physical health to examine the information in person, and may
