Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are suffering the decision that was made at the summit and we are suffering the misinterpretations by the bodies that were charged to implement the Constitution that misled people to believe that health was devolved. I wish to draw the attention of my colleagues to the Fourth Schedule Part 2 (2) of the Constitution which defines the respective functions.

The second aspect is that it is important to explain how the amendment… I will help the Leader of Majority Party. The principal Act is in the back of the Bill as usual. If you look at Section 20, you will see it. The second point is that the Chair must explain how the proposed amendment differs from the provision as originally proposed. This is important because when it comes ...
