Why does the Medical Council not believe that there should be specific provision for emergencies? Could the witnesses please elaborate on that point that Deputy Ó Caoláin asked earlier?

I asked whether the guideline has changed. The sixth edition would have been published after the X case. Has the definition in the guideline changed between the sixth and seventh editions? I am not sure whether the fifth edition was published before or after the X case but it would have been impossible for the council to predict the X case so I want to know whether the guideline has changed since then.
