The draft heads of Bill for significant and wide ranging amendments to the Medical Practitioners Act have been prepared and circulated to other Government Departments for their observations. Final observations from the Office of the Attorney General are awaited and once they are received, it is intended that the draft heads will be presented to Cabinet as soon as possible. Detailed drafting will then proceed as a matter of priority, with the assistance of Parliamentary Counsel.
