I hesitate to intervene, not having intervened thus far, but one of the problems with this place is that so many Bills run simultaneously that one is prevented from engaging with matters that are of great interest. I am slightly perplexed since, as I understand it, Amendment No. 15 is primarily directed towards excluding doctors—as shorthand—from the purview of Clause 1. I cannot think of a good reason why they should be treated differently from any other section of the community. We all have the highest possible regard for the medical profession. Part 1 has a very general application, and it is hard to see how it would have application in fact to issues of healthcare. I raise the question in a negative way because I do not see why one group of citizens should be privileged above any other. The good, noble Lord, Lord Hunt, may tell me soon.
