    "content": "When the Committee was considering the Bill, it called for submissions of memoranda from the public in our major dailies on 10th May 2018. Subsequently, it received written submissions from several interested members of the public. We appreciated the provisions of the Constitution and the Standing Orders. Great public interest in the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill was shown because the Committee received memoranda and submissions from the Ministry of Health, its agencies and key stakeholders. We had a full two-day session where we interacted with them and canvassed their views. It is also good to know that we received 131 concerns from organisations and individuals. The Committee retreated for a full week to write the Report. So, this is work that has been done thoroughly by the Committee. The Committee’s decisions on these amendments and the others that we will further bring to this House are based on constitutional requirements and views from the relevant stakeholders and other members of the public."
