On the radical nature, this will be the most significant change to the 1967 Act in practical terms that has been proposed in the last 59 years. We are not bringing this into line with Northern Ireland. As noble Baroness, Lady Foster, and others have pointed out, the option of telemedicine is not available in Northern Ireland. Anything in Northern Ireland at least goes through the route compatible with Amendment 460, which is the clinical route. We are not comparing like with like if Clause 191 was to go through.
