I move the second reading amendment standing in my name:

At the end of the motion, add:

", and the Senate requests the Auditor-General to conduct, within the next 12 months, a performance audit under the Auditor-General Act 1997 to assess:

(a) whether the Department of Health appropriately managed the procurement of services relating to the Register; and

(b) whether the processes adopted for the procurement of services met the requirements of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules including consideration and achievement of value for money.".

Question agreed to.

Original question, as amended, agreed to.

Bills read a second time.
