Will the Minister put in writing that his understanding and interpretation of the new amendment he is proposing in section 7 to provide for an obligation to inform patients of their right to make a request for a Part 5 review, specifically subsection (2) which he read out, is that anybody who has been diagnosed with cancer will be told within a reasonable timeframe that they will have a patient safety review option? Will he direct, in the form of a letter, that this is the intention of the legislation, even if we cannot put that into primary legislation, and that this is the stipulation? I understood the Minister will put that in writing. Will he confirm to the House that he will do that in order that anyone who wants a patient safety review will be able to have one?
