I am quite happy to accept the Minister of State's suggestion and will withdraw the amendment on that basis. However, can the Minister of State look at a saver provision in the case of very unusual circumstances? There is provision for that in social welfare law. Can the Minister of State give it consideration between now and Report Stage? There may be one case every five years which does not fit neatly into that 20 days. There should be some saver, rather than a black and white cliff edge, and some discretion with the HSE in extenuating circumstances or a force majeure-type situation. Can the Minister of State look at that as well for Report Stage?
