I move amendment No. 123:

In page 14, to delete lines 2 to 19 and substitute the following:"15. The Executive shall, for the purpose of monitoring and collecting data on the performance of medical clinical procedures, collect information on the functioning of Chapters 1 and 2 of this Act in accordance with standard Hospital In-Patient Enquiry procedures recognised by the World Health Organisation and in use by the HSE.".

Instead of the current wording in the Bill which we believe to be intrusive and objectionable from many points of view the amendment proposes the inclusion of more standard procedures that are already recognised and in existence.
