    "content": "The other area that we need to look at is conflicts that are likely to arise with this. The Departmental Committee on Health has looked at this. There are existing laws and we now have the Nursing Council and the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. In all those areas, because of lack of clear structures, there are sections of the laws that relate to equipment. What is likely to happen is that you may have a conflict where the Nursing Council will want to regulate this area particularly on equipment. The Pharmacy and Poisons Board is currently requesting that they regulate the equipment that is used. Therefore it will be extremely important that there is harmonisation. Some laws will have to be repealed. Some will have to be amended. We will have to go into the Education Act because training of engineers is with the universities and it will touch on it as well. Even the new Health Act that is being brought in place has a section that deals with health technologies. Again, this is in this area. We will need to look at the amendments that are required. As Hon. Pukose asked, do we need a full board on its own or do we need to incorporate it in the other existing laws."
