I commend my colleague, Deputy Kelleher, on bringing forward his Bill. I also commend him on his work as Opposition spokesperson on health. I have a few questions. Will medical practitioners have to declare everything? Will there be a lower or upper limit or is everything included? Does Deputy Kelleher envisage that the legislation, when enacted, will have an effect on the ability to access and avail of orphan drugs? Is the Bill broad enough to cover the issue of hospital staff being on the payroll of pharmaceutical companies?
