    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. Firstly, I think it is not understood what internship for the medical practitioners is. Unless the doctors or the health workers do internship, they cannot be registered, and therefore, cannot be employed anywhere. They cannot even go to other countries if you want to export them, or delve into private practice. Second, when these people are on internship, they are actually working in those facilities. They are sometimes the first on call. They work and just need to be supervised. The idea of not paying the interns is totally unthinkable. They must do internship so that they are registered. Third, there is absolutely no reason why we should limit internship to public hospitals. There are Level Five hospitals which have the four main disciplines with consultants. We should extend it so that they also train interns. Otherwise, we will be limiting the number of people who will train as doctors because this also affects the university intake. This is a very important thing. I do not see how we can dismiss these doctors yet we are moving to the UHC. On brutality, I have often said here that it is the police that cause brutality during picketing. This is the best example. I support this Petition, Hon. Speaker."
