I intend to amend section 45 on Report Stage. Relating to the restrictions on guardians appointed by the court under section 6C or temporary guardians under 6E, certain functions are reserved from those guardians unless the court expressly confers them. Some additional restrictions are required in relation to consents a guardian may provide including: the taking of samples; repealing section 3(2)(e) of the Protection of Children (Hague Convention) Act 2000; and aligning the language in the inserted section 6E(5) with that in 6E(1) and (3) which refers to serious illness and injury. I intend to amend these on Report Stage.
