Regarding amendment No. 90, AHR professionals have said that given the small pool of genetics specialists in Ireland and the vast increase in patients requiring genetic services, this amendment should be made to include specialists with equivalent medical experience in the definition of "relevant specialist". Again, the situation is moving quite quickly and the science is moving quite quickly and we may be taking too narrow a view of genetics specialists in this. I ask the Minister to look at that on the basis of the AHR professionals' position on it.
