That brings me to the question I was going to ask. Would it be Ms O'Shea's view that a sequential change to the legislation as possible here? Ms O'Shea referred earlier to section 9, 10 and 11. She recommends that "the Department of Health should take a collective leadership approach, involving health care professionals, patient representatives, lawyers and if required, ethicists, to obtain a better understanding of the difficulties surrounding operating section 11". Obviously, that would require some work done by the Department in a process.
