Records and reports of examinations of specimens shall be confidential.
Notes of Decisions Argument by a defendant, charged with driving under the influence, that medical purposes blood test should have been suppressed by hospital personnel in accordance with confidentiality regulations failed because the regulations governing confidentiality were subject to the exceptions contained in the Motor Vehicle Code which provide that no hospital or medical personnel may refuse to perform or provide the results of a blood alcohol test when requested by a police officer.
