I then considered the legislation in terms of health and safety, on which I sought the advice of the Association of Optometrists, whose honorary secretary, Mr. Kevin Culliton, is present in the House. I realised that section 12 placed a statutory obligation on optometrists to inform patients if a disease or condition of the eye was detected. This has not been a statutory obligation up to now. The 1956 Act provided that optometrists should not treat any disease of the eye or administer any drug. The Bill relaxes some of the regulations in question – as Senator Henry talked about and the Minister for Health and Children explained – in a way that is quite permissible.
