(a) the
plaintiff has requested advice or information about the risk from the
defendant; or
(b) the
defendant is required to warn the plaintiff of the risk by a written law; or
(c) the
risk is a risk of death or of personal injury to the plaintiff from the
provision of a health care service by the defendant.
