by leave—I move Greens amendments (6), (7), and (8) on sheet 7014 together:

(6)    Clause 20, page 14 (after line 22), after paragraph (3)(g), insert:

           (ga)    primary health care services;

(7)    Clause 20, page 14 (after line 22), after paragraph (3)(g), insert:

           (gb)    management of general practice;

(8)    Clause 58, page 33 (line 29), before “consent”, insert “informed”.

These amendments relate to the appointment of board members, as I articulated yesterday, to ensure that there is expertise in primary health care services and management of general practice. That is clause 6 and 7. Clause 8 relates to ensuring that when a consumer gives consent it is informed consent.
