Apologies have been received from Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor, who will be replaced by Deputy Liam Twomey. We have also received apologies from Deputy Seamus Healy. The meeting has been convened to consider Committee Stage of the Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2012. The list of proposed amendments has been circulated by the Bills office. I welcome the Minister and his officials to the meeting. I thank members of the committee for being here and the members of staff for facilitating the meeting at 6 p.m. I apologise for the inconvenience but it is due to the lack of availability of rooms in the Oireachtas.
