If there was ever an urgent piece of legislation, this is a text book definition of an urgent piece of legislation. It is because the issues being canvassed in this Bill were urgent many years ago. Two years ago when we were initiating the process of introducing this Bill to the House, the matters were urgent. So, it begs the question: how much more urgent are these issues that we are prosecuting here? At the outset, I would like to thank the Departmental Committee on Health represented by the Vice-Chair, Hon. Kutuny Joshua. I would like to also say that there has been some great work that has been put in by many other people, including the Leader of the Majority Party in prioritising this Bill so that it gets to the Floor of this House.

As it is, any hospital, individual, clinic, dispensary or even quack doctor can collect, transfuse and transport The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
