    "content": "In addition to the provisions set out on Part IV, this Bill has come out very clearly on the issue of private practitioners. They will be prohibited not to practice as public biomedical officers and, at the same time, engage themselves in private practice. This Bill has come out very clearly. If an officer is serving in the public service, he may not practice privately. However, if he wants to practice privately, then he has to leave the public service and practice privately. That will root out any corrupt practices whereby people who are not qualified just sneaks out of their jobs and go to practice behind the streets of towns and cities. Therefore, I think this Bill is very timely. This is a very important discipline. We know that those professionals will also be dealing with human health, particularly the ones who deal with fixing implants in human bodies. Those are people who are very important to this country. Finally, this Bill will create morale for the biomedical engineers who might want to practice and work in this country. They may not want to seek green pastures out of this country and may want to retain or serve their country diligently. This Bill will improve the morale of Biomedical Engineers. As my colleagues have said, let the Mover also look at the issue of the Money Bill so that it can be aligned to this Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to support this Bill. Thank you."
