Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at Clause 7(4), a healthcare provider will be sanctioned for disobeying this constitutional duty. We are giving the person and the institutions a leeway to claim inability as a reason for not providing emergency care. This must be cured. If we are saying that referral is one of the emergency cares that you can give to a patient, then you cannot claim inability of whatever nature. Anybody who fails to give emergency care must be liable for the penalties indicated in Clause 4 and Clause 5."}
