I have a quick question about the advisory council that Senator Fifield just referred to. You would be aware that allied health professionals have had some concerns around their level of engagement. The amendments around professionals that the CEO can seek advice from have partly dealt with that issue. In seeking some clarification in relation to the advisory council I am not asking about prescribing certain further members, but the terms of reference do not necessarily preclude people with professional expertise in allied health or with allied health knowledge from being included on the advisory council if that was appropriate, do they?
