    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as the Chair sorts out the computer issues, I want to propose the amendments. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 be amended- (a) in the definition of “health worker” by deleting the words “health services, whether professional or non professional and includes a volunteer” and substituting therefor the words “professional health services”; (b) by deleting the definition of “complementary food” and substituting therefor the following new definition- “complementary food product” means any food suitable or presented as suitable, as an addition to breast milk, for infants from the age of six months up to the age of thirty six months”; (c) by deleting the definition of “follow-up formula” and substituting therefor the following new definition- “follow-up formula” means a food intended for use as part of the complementary diet for the infant from the sixth month and for young children” (d) by deleting the definition of “gift” and substituting therefor the following new definition- “gift” means inducements of such type as may be prescribed that are not of professional utility to health workers; (e) in the definition of “infant formula” by deleting the words “and includes all infant formula for special medical or nutritional purposes” and substituting therefor the words “and adapted to their psychological characteristics” Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this amendment is just basically redefining the term “health worker” to fit in with the relevant definition. We want to go for professional health services and not just any health services. As for “b”, it is redefining again the word “complementary food” as per the Bill to align it to the best definition that we would be able to get from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other codes; as well as the definition of the “follow up formula” in part “c,” that of a “gift” in part “d” and that of “infant formula” in part “e.” Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all these were done to remove ambiguity which we thought the Bill had. It was meant to make the definitions a little bit more clear."
