Kathleen Lynch: This amendment aims to remove from the definition of "appropriate institutions" those hospitals that are not owned by the Health Service Executive, HSE. The affect of accepting this amendment would be to exclude the three maternity hospitals and the large public multidisciplinary hospitals in Dublin, which are not owned by the HSE, from the ambit of the operation of this legislation. This...

Kathleen Lynch: This amendment relates to the provision of facilities for the intensive care of newborns in appropriate institutions under the terms of the Bill. I do not propose to accept it as it is not necessary. I am confident that if a newborn infant requires intensive care facilities nothing in this Bill will prevent that child from accessing those facilities.

Kathleen Lynch: I do not propose to accept the amendments but for good reasons. In addition, I do not believe they are necessary. Any orders or regulations made under this Bill will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas, which includes members of the Joint Committee on Health and Children.

Kathleen Lynch: I will be brief because most of the debate has been on expenses. It has wandered to other areas and no amendments on section 6 concern expenses. If we were all to make decisions about how our taxes were spent, I am not sure we would have what we now see as a cohesive society. That is an issue for Government. If I was to decide, as an individual, how my taxes were spent, people would not...
