David Norris (Independent)

I have but a few remarks to make because the matter has been rehearsed widely. I am also not the best qualified Member in my group to speak on this matter. If my companion who is a medical doctor comes to the House, I will seek permission to share time with her because her knowledge is considerably greater than mine, as I know from previous experience.

I welcome the Minister's speech which was clear and open. He has adopted a conciliatory attitude to the haemophilia society which I welcome.

I must correct an impression given, perhaps inadvertently, by Senator Feighan in an otherwise excellent speech, that the Department was profiteering. He may not have heard the Minister say he had reduced the price of the report to a nominal €1.
