Bill agreed to.

Debate resumed from 24 November 1998, on motion by Mr Moore:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MR WOOD (5.22): I am not going to repeat Mr Moore's clear presentation. The Bill will bring about efficiencies in the administration of health in that doctors will be trusted to act professionally. It may also bring about some minor improvements in health treatment in that doctors will not have to be taking time doing other things. Since the Bill simplifies those administrative procedures, the Opposition will be giving its full support.
