In any event, what I was going to propose was that the Minister - I do not think he can do it in this Bill - keep a basket of medical insurance premiums under review to ensure the limits reflect gold plated policies, or call them whatever one likes, rather than the policies many people believe they need to protect themselves in the current environment have. It may not be something that can be enshrined in law but I suggest the Minister's officials keep the three principal medical insurers and the policies they offer under review so that the limits reflect what could be regarded as standard policies per se.
