Very good, I will be able to check the record. That is very useful.

The addition of other professions might have been dealt with early in the Minister's speech as well but if it was not, will the Minister indicate some of the additional professions that he intends to bring on board? If members of the public at large feel that a particular area needs to be examined or registered, who do they ask to do that or what is the process in that regard?

We support the Bill. There is the issue surrounding section 6 of the 2005 Act, but like the Minister I commend the legislation to the House. I look forward to hearing further elaboration on some of the points I raised. As far as the public is concerned, the sooner this Bill is passed, the better, so we can have more confidence in the professions that are being put forward and prescribing treatments across the various disciplines.
