On the point raised by Senator Ryan, from my experience of having been a member of the Medical Council, in regard to mediation or in the case of the Medical Council where there is a health committee, such a practitioner would not go before a fitness to practise committee but yet there would be genuine concerns about his or her practice which would render restrictions being imposed. In the case of a pharmacist, that might also follow suit. Is there provision for the establishment of a health committee for pharmacists?
