• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new subsection (3) by deleting the words “of medical oncologist” and substituting therefor the word “oncology”. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Clause 4 left as it is, the words, “medical oncologist” in line 3, is a cadre of staff. The whole sub-clause actually lists several medical cadres like medical oncologist, pediatric oncologist: the person who treats children, radiation oncologist - the person who treats with x-rays and other radiations and nurses. Basically, it is talking about medical staff or human resource. If it is replaced with the word medical oncologist which, in itself, is a subject, then it is not appropriate.
