We have discussed the issue of doctors seeking clarity. From my own contact with doctors in hospitals throughout the country, I can say they are looking for that clarity. They feel they are walking on eggshells at present with regard to the decisions they are taking. They are afraid, not only of criminal prosecution but of being reported to the Medical Council because someone's view might be that they are stepping out of line. That is why they are looking for clarity and it is important that clarity be given.
