I move amendment No. 9:

In page 11, to delete lines 35 and 36 and substitute the following: "(a) specifying the information to be recorded on and the manner, method or form of recording information on or transmitting it to, the national database,".

This is a technical amendment to ensure the exact format of the data third-party software companies need to provide to the NVPS can be specified. Transmission to the database refers to the fact most vets will use their own software, which is then sent in readable format to the NVPS, as opposed to vets interacting directly with the NVPS.
