There will be no meeting of minds given the positions that the Minister and Minister of State have taken on the amendments being required or not. I take the view that the Bill is there to address not only those who are entrusted with clinical practice making the decisions but also to address the greater body of citizens, especially women. That was most certainly large in my mind when drafting the amendments I have tabled. I suggest that, without any further beating around it, we should move to make a decision on these amendments and move on to the later sections.
