As I said earlier, this is basically a transfer process, so powers of the Minister for Health are part of that. As a separate addendum, there may be a conversation with HIQA. I absolutely have a good working relationship with HIQA, and I will speak to the people in the authority. This Bill is a transfer piece so we are looking to transfer the powers in question from the Minister dealing with health matters to the Minister dealing with equality matters.
