I have several quick questions to follow up. I suspect I know the answers to them but it is useful to ask them for clarity. I would like the witnesses to say a word about interaction with representative groups of GPs and nursing and not only regarding the creation of the Bill. We have spoken about public information. I assume it would be very important to roll the professional groups into the public information, in order that they themselves know what their rights are. I am particularly interested in GPs in this regard. I have spoken to several GPs who are very interested in the Bill.

My next question is about one of the submissions we received. The HSE submission queried whether particular groups would have the ability to notify care providers that they will protest and thereby get permission.

I think I know what Ms Mason is going to say here, but I ask this for the removal of doubt. Is there is any expectation or plan to put a kind of permission framework in place whereby permission could be sought and given?
