I would like to thank the government for accepting our amendments to make this bill more effective, while ensuring patients’ privacy. It is important to listen to stakeholders and that is exactly what the opposition have done. In relation to this particular issue, we have always put patients first and we did in our consideration of these amendments as well. We thank the government for accepting our amendments and for the way in which negotiations were conducted.

Question agreed to.
