(a) It is assumed that the term ‘veterinary report’ refers to the clinical record of treatment and surgery recorded by the contracted veterinary clinic. It is further assumed that this relates to the transfer of the greyhound from the contracted veterinary clinic after treatment and/or surgery has been completed. The greyhounds’ clinical record of treatment and surgery recorded by the contracted veterinary clinic is the property of, and resides with, that veterinary clinic. RWWA does not receive copies of the veterinary clinic’s medical records.
(b) Does not apply.
(i) The contracted veterinary clinic creates and holds the medical records of the greyhounds in the Greyhound Injury Full Recovery Scheme.
(c) The contracted veterinary clinic creates and holds the medical records of the greyhounds in the Greyhound Injury Full Recovery Scheme.
