I fully agree. I have got agreement from the Government and the Office of the Attorney General that this legislation would be listed for priority drafting. Drafting is under way and when we have the heads of the Bill, I will bring a memorandum to the Government. The heads of Bill will then go to the Joint Committee on Health for pre-legislative scrutiny. We will take the committee's feedback, produce a final draft Bill and then begin the legislative process.
