Act 6 Access to Information Act 2005 to make the record available in a form in which it is capable of being read, viewed or heard by that person. (6) Where access to a record is to be given to a person with a disability and the person requests that access to be given in an alternative format, a copy of the record shall be given in an alternative format (a) immediately, if the record exists in the alternative format that is acceptable to that person; or (b) within a reasonable period to allow the public body to prepare or cause to be prepared the alternative format, unless the making of the alternative format is considered outrageously expensive compared to the information required. (7) Where a record is made available in accordance with subsection (5), the person shall not be required to pay an access fee which is more than the fee which that person would have been required to pay, but for the disability. (8) Where a record is made available in terms of this section to a person for inspection, viewing or hearing, that person may make copies of, or transcribe the record using his or her equipment, unless to do so would— (a) interfere unreasonably with the effective administration of the public body concerned; (b) be detrimental to the preservation of the record; or (c) amount to an infringement of copyright not owned by the State or the public body concerned. (9) Where this section requires the supply to a person of a copy of a record, the copy shall, if so requested by that person, be supplied by posting it to that person. (10) Where an internal appeal or an application to the court, as the case may be, is lodged against the granting of a request for access to a record, access to the record may be given only when the decision to grant the request is finally confirmed. 21. Access to health or other records. An information officer shall refuse access to health records, the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy. 22. Preservation of records. Where the information officer receives a request for access to records or information, he or she shall ensure that the records or information concerned are properly preserved until the request is met and where there is an appeal, until all the procedures for appeal are exhausted. 15
