On Second Stage the Minister stated that "This Bill does not extend the use of drugs and it does not change the parent legislation." That is not really true. It is removing the section which states that an optician, as so described within the existing Act, cannot prescribe or administer drugs. The Minister then stated that "Amendments to the Medicinal Regulations 1996 will facilitate the utilisation of the three drugs." However, there is nothing within the Bill which describes these three drugs. They are not there. As far as I can see, a future Minister could extend the number of drugs which it is possible to administer.
