    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate my colleague, hon. Sang, for bringing this Bill. Indeed, it is a Bill that revolutionalises the practice of physiotherapy. For a very long time, while all other practices have their own boards that regulate them, this particular profession did not have one. Therefore, it has brought a lot of the much needed professional control and management around the physiotherapists practice in medicine. I must say that this is one practice within the other practices of medicine that was not very much talked about. Those who train in it feel junior to other practitioners in medicine. However, I must say that what has happened today - putting regulations and legislations around this particular practice - brings a very important phenomenon. Of course, the discipline as well is now guided by the regulations; both the practitioners and the users. In this case, the public will be protected under the law so that any violations are well catered for within the law and measures against each and every one of those offences have been laid out. Indeed, I know hon. Sang who is my close friend in the Budget and Appropriations Committee has actually struggled a lot to bring this Bill to where it is today. I am sure he must be a very proud man as we all are. When he brought it to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, there were serious issues and challenges with regard to the need for resources to enable that particular council to be established. We supported him and I am glad that he has pulled through to this level. Therefore, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity and I support this particular Bill. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
