-----as long as it would not restrict effect in the real world, I actually think showing respect to the spectrum of views on this issue is good. That has been reflected at the committee today. If the Minister is telling me that there is a legal issue with it and that he has so been informed, he must not take this the wrong way, but I need it to be more than just his view. If the medics are telling him that it would constrict their ability to provide appropriate healthcare, that is legitimate. If they are not, I have to say I would have no problem in changing the wording if it was a respectful way of reflecting the fact that there is a wide spectrum of views on this topic.
