Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the amendment by Hon. Emanikor. It is not fair to use this Bill to limit civil liberties in terms of civil debts and issues like those. This particular amendment and deletion is in order. I support.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to say three things. First, I think this deletion is the best thing that can be done to this Bill. It was as draconian as it could get because it was going contrary to Article 35 of the Constitution on access to information. Secondly, Parliament has also made legislation to make sure that the broadcasting and information goes to the public and there is a lot to that effect.

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 ...

within the meaning of the Health Bill. That is the reason the Committee on Health agreed to let this Bill be moved. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill seeks to do a couple of things. The first one is that there are people in charge of health records in hospitals. A person who falls sick and goes either to a private or public hospital first engages with a health practitioner. What the health practitioner does is to take ones’ details like age, epidemiology, health history and things like those. That then constitutes your health record for purposes of future reference, ...
