520.3.1. An agency may offer the institutions in its area of jurisdiction, or in the areas of jurisdiction of other agencies, installation, maintenance and repair services for any technological medium used by the institutions as well as information resource management services; it may also offer user support services.
If those services concern information resource management or a technological medium used for information contained in a user’s record, the institution giving the contract to an agency may, in accordance with section 27.1, communicate information contained in the user’s record to any person designated by the agency if the communication of that information is necessary for the agency to carry out the contract.
An agency may itself offer those services or give all or part of that responsibility, by service contract, to one of the institutions in its area of jurisdiction or to any other person.
The Minister may offer the same services as those referred to in the first paragraph to an agency, to an institution, or to another body or person in the health and social services network. In addition, the Minister may offer information asset design, production and supply services to such an agency, institution, body or person. The second and third paragraphs then apply, with the necessary modifications.
