The point I am coming to - I concur with Deputy Penrose - is that when it comes to corporates taking over or being predominant within the sector, there seems to be a hole in the legislation such that a corporate, as the owner of a practice, will not be regulated by anyone. It is clear that there is a hole in the Act that needs to be filled.
