I wish to advise the committee that I am considering introducing an additional amendment to this section to link investigations regarding designated healthcare representatives to the powers available to the director in this section. Part 8 is the responsibility of the Minister for Health but even though that Minister does not wish to amend the complaints provisions under Part 8 of the Act of 2015, it may still be desirable to clarify that the normal powers of the director in relation to conducting investigations explicitly apply.
