It is important that we would encourage the Department of Health to engage with the witnesses because this is a complex area and they are the people who are working at the coalface who know the complications.

To go back to my own profession, when we were dealing with the legislation to regulate solicitors the Law Society had ongoing communication with the Department of Justice and Equality and other Departments. I do not see any difference in this case and why that should not happen here.
