Recital 67

Natural persons should be informed by the health data holders about significant findings related to their health made by health data users. Natural persons should have the right to request not to be informed of such findings. Member States could lay down conditions on the arrangements for the provision by the health data holders of such information to the natural persons concerned and on the exercise of the right not to be informed. Member States should be able, in accordance with Article 23(1), point (i), of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, to restrict the scope of the obligation to inform natural persons whenever necessary for their protection based on patient safety and ethics, by delaying the communication of their information until a health professional can communicate and explain to the natural persons concerned information that potentially can have an impact on their health.
