I support that suggestion. This gives rise to medical practitioners charging the same fees as the legal profession in some instances. Fees are very high. As Senator Maurice Hayes rightly said, it takes people away from their duties. Some medical practitioners specialise almost exclusively in court cases because they are more lucrative. We should try to avoid the tendency towards this.
