I understand that is the process involved. How close are the regulations to completion? Has the Department circulated to the bodies involved and received responses from them? Are they still outstanding? Has the second draft been agreed? We all understand it is good and necessary. It is a policy that all doctors engage with open disclosure. The Department, however, has not given them the legal framework to do so without fear of litigation. Will the Department talk me through the mechanics of what is involved? If we asked for the current copy of the draft, could we receive that today?
