Mary Henry (Independent)

I do not know if it is possible, but could one state that a medical practitioner means what I have stated in my amendment under section 11 of this Bill? That would obviate the problem in section 24. It is only under section 24 that we refer people outside the State, unless we are going to start taking reports from people outside the State, which would be possible. People must have some type of qualification before they give these reports. Otherwise, it could be left incredibly wide open. I am sure there are fine people on the Limerick border giving medical treatment at present. They do not need any qualifications. We could start a cottage industry with local specialists.
