Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 5, to delete lines 14 to 22 and substitute the following:

5.—Section 12 (inserted by section 9 of the Act of 2001) of the Act of 1994 is amended, in subsection (2), by the substitution of the following paragraph for paragraph (c):

"(c) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs (a) to (d) of the definition of 'health insurance contract' (inserted by section 2 of the Act of 2001) in section 2(1), a scheme may include a provision specifying that the scheme shall not apply to so much of the activities of a registered undertaking as consist of effecting health insurance contracts where such a contract, either of itself or as construed with any linked or related other health insurance contract, makes no provision for the making of in-patient indemnity payments.".
