Fortunately or unfortunately I was on the committee which dealt with this issue. It was complicated and we had trouble drafting a report. I ask Ms Reilly to comment on, for the benefit of everyone else, any of the Departments mentioned. Page 34 refers to the Department of Health and says 24 non-disclosure provisions are already included in the Third Schedule. The Department has them, Ms O'Reilly is happy with them and that is the end of that. Page 35 says the Department recommends that the following non-disclosure provisions should be included in the Third Schedule. It is happy that they should now be included.
