I can see no reason why it should not be permitted that the health adviser and the deputy health advisers be summoned by the Assembly in the same way as other people who are appointed. The only reason that I can conceive is because it is envisaged in the Bill that that person may be a civil servant. We are about to consider an amendment that suggests that that person should not be a civil servant. I fail to understand why that is sufficient reason not to permit such an individual to be summoned.
