Going to amendment (6), I want to make sure that I can identify the exact provision. It would be on sheet 5987. If we turn over the page, amendment (6) says:

(6)    Schedule 1, item 2, page 6 (after line 7), at the end of section 129AAD, add:

From there, the existing words are:

Notices to produce documents ...

We would want to substitute this phrase: ‘The CEO may not develop a reasonable concern under this section about the clinical relevance of a particular service.’ That is in distinction from the current words, which are:

Notices to produce documents issued under this section will not include requests for information about whether a particular service was clinically relevant.
