I support the amendment. While I note the Minister has addressed some of the issues we have raised, I hope she will not copy the disposition of the Minister for Health who blanket-refuses any of the amendments presented by the Opposition which have been thought through carefully. I appeal to the Minister to consider favourably several Opposition amendments that are meritorious. I hope we will not go through the Bill’s passage simply for the sake of treading water, as Deputy Troy has already said. We want to see we have also made a difference to this process.
