Several people are trying to get in. I suggest that we go into private session at the end of the meeting to talk about where we will go in respect of the general scheme. This would be helpful. Again, if members indicate they wish to come in on the second round, I will do that.

Turning to what is happening now, this is about information. What is the current situation regarding insurance companies getting access to medical information and what will change in this regard? Will these companies be able to get more or less information after the proposed legislation completes its passage through the Oireachtas? I am just using insurance companies as an example, but it could also apply to anyone else looking for such information.
