281FD Supervised access arrangements

(1) A health authority may approve arrangements that enable an accused person, and any other person who has been engaged to assist with the accused person’s case, to view or listen to (but not copy) sensitive evidence held by the health authority. Those arrangements are supervised access arrangements.

(2) The supervised access arrangements may require access to take place subject to such conditions as the health authority considers appropriate to ensure that there is no unauthorised reproduction or circulation of the thing and that the integrity of the thing is protected.

(3) Without limiting subsection (2), the conditions may require access to take place under the immediate or general supervision of the health authority.

(4) A function of a health authority under a supervised access arrangement may, with the agreement of a prosecuting authority, be exercised by the prosecuting authority on behalf of the health authority.
