    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This being my first Bill, I would have wanted to use all my 20 minutes. I will try to do what I can in these four minutes. I wish I started earlier. First of all, let me thank the people who helped to do this Bill. They are my very two able assistants, Irene and Kwame and also the Clerk to the Committee, Mr. Walala, who worked very tirelessly to help us come up with this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill has taken us a couple of years. Indeed, I agree that it is difficult to put a Bill together as a Private Member. It has been one-and-a-half years of work and it has been very rigorous. I thank Members who worked with me, particularly the Committee on Health, for working with us very well. We have gone through a couple of sessions at the publication scrutiny stage with the Committee on Health and they have been very supportive. There are a couple of concerns that will still be addressed during this Second Reading. I have got a lot of support from both the Legal Department of Parliament and also the various Clerk Assistants I have been working with. This Bill almost hits some headwind with the proposal of the Health Bill. There was a concern from the Committee on Health that all Bills that were touching on health issues wait to be dealt with under the Health Bill. But, having undertaken sessions with that Committee, we agreed that it is true that the Health Bill is of importance, but not all factors can be dealt with 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."
