Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

Can the Minister clarify the difference between the new and old wording? Does it concern the medical tests? I have read both wordings and have had to read them a second time to see a difference. I assume it was just a legalistic issue in terms of wording. Is there a substantive difference between the two wordings in the context of the responsibility of a doctor or nurse? Both wordings seem legitimate to me, but I presume there is a reason for the change.
