    "content": "I also know that death is an untimely event and a mysterious thing. It is only natural that we hold on to life of ourselves and of our dear people. I would not want to go the way of condemning every death because we all have appointment with death. I want to be a bit fair to our medical practitioners because not all deaths are caused by negligence but at the same time, the few cases we have heard is because there is more awareness and the cases are now being brought forward more than previously. We should not condemn all doctors and avoid giving statistics that are really not well researched, especially the one out of five that the Mover had given, that is, one out of five people who seek medication are misdiagnosed or are subjected to negligence. I think we really need to get the statistics properly. At the same time, I want to also caution that we have the Medical Practitioners and Dentist Board that is already in existence. I would want us to interrogate the mandate of this board, and I stand to be corrected by the medics who are in the House, this medical board sits once in three months, if I am not wrong, to address cases that are really piling up every day. That means, they cannot effectively deal with cases on their table. When you take this to the judiciary, and we are really working hard to reform the judiciary, the only evidence that can help prosecute these cases has to come from the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
