SPEECH BY THE SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ON WEDNESDAY! 20 JANUARY 1988

Medical Registration (Amendment) Bill 1987

SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE:

Sir,

I would like to thank the three Members who have

spoken in support of this Bill, and of the other three

related Bills which are before the Council this afternoon.

As I mentioned

when I introduced these Bills on

our

9 December last year, it is the intention to carry out a

comprehensive review of the composition of the four

Councils and Boards and the points which Members have made

on these bodies will be taken into account. The

arrangements for the registration and discipline of the

other professions to which Members have referred differ in

varying degrees, but I am sure that my official colleagues

will have noted Members' comments on these matters, and

that we all agree on the need to safeguard both

professional standards and the interests of the community

as a whole.

Sir, I beg to move.
