I understand the point. However, section 19 deals with the process by which the HSE will make decisions and revert to suppliers on such decisions. I respectfully suggest that what Deputy Billy Kelleher proposes in his amendments is excessive and unnecessary, particularly if he is advocating that all prescribers and pharmacists and, as Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin recommended, the IMO and IPU be individually notified, either by post or e-mail, of any changes which occur. I accept and understand the fair point which has been made on people being notified that the list has changed rather than being obliged to continually to check to see if changes have been made. Perhaps a specific notification might be included on the website, to which people would be periodically referring, to draw attention to the fact that changes have been made. I will certainly consider the matter before Report Stage. However, I am not minded to accept the amendments.
