I reject the Minister's argument because they are separate. This is a section dealing with the definition of health. The other proposal was, unfortunately, rejected by the committee. It related to the grounds on which one could argue for a termination. They are separate and it is not right to conflate the two. This is simply dealing with the definition. I did not agree with the outcome but to use the outcome of that vote is unfair and it conflates two quite separate things.
