Matters have changed slightly since the beginning of the debate when I discovered that the medical practitioner does not have to be a doctor. When I discussed this with those who were involved in drawing up the legislation I was told that this person would probably be the general practitioner. There was some trouble here and I was sorry that the Irish College of General Practitioners, the general practitioners' committee of the Irish Medical Organisation or any of the other bodies involving general practitioners had not been consulted about the legislation. They were anxious about the fact that they would have to produce these reports because there was a problem involving a conflict of interest.
