      (1) As soon as practicable after a person has submitted to a breath analysis the approved operator by whom the breath analysing instrument was operated shall read over to him and hand to him a written statement, in such prescribed form as is appropriate to the case, that indicates the concentration of alcohol in the breath of that person as determined by that analysis.

      (3) Where an approved operator hands a statement to a person in accordance with subsection (1), that person may immediately request the operator to make arrangements for a sample of that person's blood to be taken for analysis, and, on such a request being made, it is the duty of the operator to comply with the request by making arrangements for the taking of such a sample to be begun by a medical practitioner or by a qualified nurse within 3 hours after the relevant time.

      (4) A person who makes an election under section 10(4A) or a request under subsection (3) of this section is not liable for the cost incurred in making or carrying out arrangements for taking a sample of blood in consequence of that person's election or request.
