I move Greens amendment (1) on sheet 7014:

(1)    Clause 5, page 3 (after line 7), after the definition of Chair, insert:

clinician means an individual who provides diagnosis, or treatment, as a professional:

             (a)    medical practitioner; or

             (b)    nurse; or

             (c)    allied health practitioner; or

             (d)    health practitioner not covered by paragraph (a), (b) or (c).

I articulated the reason for this amendment in my speech on the second reading. That was so we are really clear that the definition of ‘clinician’ does not just relate to a GP, because that is what people generally think of as a clinician.
