An undertaking, as defined in the Health Insurance Act, means a health benefits undertaking, "registered in relation to an undertaking" means registered in the register and cognate words shall be construed accordingly. The term, "health insurance undertaking" means the business of effecting health insurance contracts and, therefore, the effect of this proposed amendment would have no material impact on the provision. The definition of "relevant health insurance business in the State" includes all the insurer's health insurance business in the State. Therefore, I do not accept the amendment.
