I move amendment No. 51:

In page 85, between lines 27 and 28, to insert the following:

“(c) the giving, by a medical practitioner or medical practitioners (SJ), of medical advice in relation to any agreement or other arrangement.”.

This amendment arises out of Committee Stage, and I had a similar amendment down.

HR professionals raised concerns with me and they are seeking similar protection to that which is afforded to legal practitioners and consular service staff in the Bill. On Committee Stage, we discussed this and the Minister committed to asking his officials to look at my amendments. Did the departmental officials do that, did they review this proposal, and if so, what was the outcome?
