MS DUNDAS (6.20): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name to amend Mr Wood’s amendment No 8 [see schedule 4 at page 3243].

I thank the government for bringing forward its amendment introducing guidelines under which a health professional could be exempted under this act. I think that the amendment is an important accountability measure and I support it. However, I think that it is important to retain the exemption as a disallowable instrument. I believe that, even with the guidelines, the Assembly should retain the power to disallow any exemptions to the registration of a health professional as I think that this is a very important part of the act.
