(Dr) Robert Pukose","speaker":null,"content":" When prescribing or changing medication, there could be a case of a patient who is in a coma. This can have legal implications. If a patient is in a coma and you change their medication, they might wake up and say that they did not consent. We are making this even more complicated by making that amendment. Therefore, I urge that we do not support this amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
