Opticians (Amendment) Bill 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

2:30 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 5:

In page 9, paragraph (a), line 12, after "action" to insert ", including the prescription or administration of any drug for the purpose of paralysing the accommodation of the eye,".

When we were discussing whether or not we should take all Stages of the Bill today, the Leader stated that she did not think any of the amendments were serious or ponderous. In my opinion, however, the amendment in my name is extremely serious because it relates to one of the most important parts of the Bill. While I warmly welcome the rest of the Bill, I am anxious about this area.
