The Minister of State rehearsed the list of people who are consulted. There were no patients. As a patient, I would be very pleased were this amendment implemented. It is like our other difficulty with the junior certificate. The 14 and 15 year olds I know were not asked whether they hate the idea that their work should be independently assessed. The matter is focused on the teachers. This issue is also about insiders. The patients would like this to happen but they do not appear to have been consulted.
