If the minister could turn his mind to answering this question, it would be useful. I do not think we on this side of the chamber are at all clear about what it means by ‘appropriate’. May it be appropriate not to consult anybody under some circumstances? Let us take the case of the chair of AHEC. What would be appropriate in this respect? Would it be one health minister from one state as opposed to all of them, or none of them? What is the intention here?
