I thought that Dr. Holohan was saying was that under the new Act, enforcement in respect of other activities would be granted. Perhaps an amendment Bill is required. We need to get to a point where HIQA can enforce its recommendations. There are substantial enforcement powers within this legislation. If we are going in that direction anyway - and it seems we should be - is this Bill an opportunity to bring in an amending section to give HIQA enforcement powers in these other areas?
