Thanks.
Building on what Ramez has said, first of all, I think that because this is going to Parliament there is an issue of parliamentary privilege in asking to see things in advance. I think Parliament gets to see it first, so I don't think we can intercept it. I think that's the way I'd put it.
Second, it's a framework. This isn't a binding act. It's a recommended framework that can be.... I read through the draft framework and a lot of it was indicating the need for more research and for additional study. It isn't a binding piece of legislation, if I can put it that way. It's a framework to approach a problem.
I do think there is time for us to consider it after it has been tabled. I think getting on with it indicates an interest in it. I think that would be beneficial, so I support what Mr. Davies said. Maybe we should substitute it for the research on antimicrobial resistance and have a couple of days dedicated to it.
I have a concern about this sense of how the health department has been portrayed, as sort of masking and hiding.... I just don't like that. I think it should be a very open and transparent process in engaging with the people who are suffering from Lyme disease. I think it would be worthwhile to hear from them and also to hear from the community, and I think it would be better to have it after.... The other reason why I think it's better to have the framework tabled is that if the health department has listened and has built in the changes and concerns that were identified, I would sooner have the discussion with the final document than with one based on our knowledge from the framework document.
