In view of what has been said here today, I propose that the committee formally write to the Department of Health to ask it to convene a meeting of all parties involved in this matter. It is important that everyone sits around a table at a very early stage. The Department may claim it is waiting for the legislation to be published. However, if it called a meeting today, it would be two weeks before such a meeting would be held, by which stage the legislation would be published. The committee should write to the Department in that regard today.
