The purpose of the amendment is to ensure it complies with an obligation to consult, particularly as part of the background. As people said earlier, there was a feeling that insiders got the jump regarding the legislation, although the Minister will disagree. Why not have public advertisement?

Amendment No. 24 seeks to insert the words "or any other person" after "practitioner". Perhaps I should address it. I will not, because I have confused myself.
