I certainly will stick to the Bill because otherwise it would be a lengthy debate. The Minister made an alarming statement but perhaps I misheard him. Did the Minister state that he does not have the opticians or the dental fraternity on board? Has he had discussions with these sectors in the context of the roll-out? Perhaps I misheard him, but certainly that is what came across. If that is the case, it is alarming. What discussions have taken place if they are not on board? If the Minister does not have these two sectors on board, it raises very serious questions as to how this will be rolled out in the timeframe mentioned.
