There are a lot reasons that it's a good idea. The Supreme Court felt it was a good idea, so it put the system in place and it has been working fairly efficiently. As the defence lawyers were speaking, I was thinking that this would address many of their concerns, because then the final gatekeeper would not be the doctor or the nurse practitioner. They are not the ones making that final decision. It would be a judicial decision or one by some sort of oversight mechanism. As a result, there would be protection for patients, protection for people who are vulnerable, and also protection in that system for the medical practitioners themselves.
