Health and Social Care Professionals Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).
2:00 pm
Michael McCarthy (Labour)
This section deals with access to and publication of registers. It would be a worthwhile gesture to include the Internet in that respect. We are in an era when information technology drives much of the economy and the Government. It is a medium through which people should be expected to declare whatever they need to. It is an avenue of knowledge that was not there for a number of years, but most households use it now and it would be appropriate if the Minister included that in the section.
