I am a little bit at pains to understand the justification with regard to the inpatient hospital treatment insertion within the legislation. However, I am very conscious of the need to have this legislation dispensed with today. On that basis, I will withdraw, but I suspect we will be coming back to that very issue again at some future date. I have no doubt about it. I think we all share the views of the Irish Cancer Society with regard to the need to ensure this legislation does pass before the lifetime of this Government ends.
