• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by inserting the word “palliative” immediately after the word “curative” appearing in sub clause (d). view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The purpose of inserting this word is to ensure that it is one of the packages within our health system. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended by inserting the word “palliative” immediately after the word “curative”. It is for the same reason that we would like palliative care to be an integral part of our health care system. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub clause (1) by deleting the words “except elective abortions.” appearing in paragraph (a); (b) in sub clause (2) by deleting the words ‘uncomplicated abortion and post- abortion care and in the identification, management and referral of abortion’ and substituting therefor the words “manage pregnancy-related complications in women” As a Committee, we find this superfluous because the expression does not add any value. Any abortion whether it is elective or not, has to be managed by medical officers. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 7 of the Bill be amended, by inserting the following new sub clause immediately after sub clause (2) — “(2A) A health care provider shall not be liable under this section, until the provisions of subsection (2) have been implemented.” The purpose of this amendment is to protect health care service providers from incurring liability. They are being encouraged to provide emergency care. They should also be protected. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me an opportunity to give an explanation to what this means. We are asking our health providers to provide emergency health care. Part (2A) says that the health provider shall not be liable under this section. The provisions of subsection 2 have been implemented and this is where we are saying that there should be a Fund that will compensate health providers. We are protecting health providers, so that they are not told they do not provide emergency treatment. We are coming up with a Fund which can facilitate emergency treatment in ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, the import of this clause is that we would like healthcare providers not to be liable until the provisions of Clause 7(2) have been implemented. Clause 7(2) provides for the establishment of a Fund, so that when a doctor provides emergency service, they are compensated through the Fund. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that emergency care is provided, but at the same time to protect healthcare providers. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 8 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3), by inserting the word “care” immediately after the word “health”. This is just for flow. It was a typographical error. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “in so far as it is within users” appearing immediately after the words “the duty” and substituting therefor the words “in the absence of any observable incapacity”. This concerns the duties of the users. It is meant for clarity. It is unrealistic and a burden to health care providers to anticipate the mental capability of a patient.
