I thank the Member for that question. That clause would give delegated powers to the Department of Health to update the list at any time, should the Minister and the Department see fit. We have not restricted it or made it time-bound. We want to give the Department the flexibility to amend the list and bring in other professionals, should it feel that that is necessary. That is intentional, in order to give the Department that flexibility.
