Let us wait and see. Can the Minister confirm that as part of the preliminary proceedings or the fitness to practise committees, there will be a member of the profession on which the adjudication is being made, for example, a nurse where the adjudication is on a nurse and a midwife where the adjudication is on a midwife? My intention is to ensure that happens. I do not want to undo anything, add to a backlog or do anything like that. Clearly, that is not the intention here. The intention is to ensure that the regulated health profession in question is represented on the committee. If the Minister can give me that assurance, I will find myself amenable to persuasion.
