I understand that motion 9 is in this grouping. It is not terribly different from the composite motion proposed by Deputy O'Connell. The only difference is that not just legislation would be required, but also regulation through the Medical Council and An Bord Altranais.
If this composite motion is accepted, we should also recognise that there cannot be a delay in receiving medical opinion where there is a serious risk to health. That matter could be included.
