I move amendment No. 29:

In page 14, line 15, to delete “17 ordinary members” and substitute “18 ordinary members”.

An amendment to section 18(3)(a) is proposed to provide that representatives from each Department are nominated to the Children First interdepartmental implementation group by the relevant Minister. A new subsection 3(d) is proposed to provide that a representative of the HSE is included in the membership of the implementation group. As a result, there is a consequential amendment to section 18(1)(b), which provides for the number of ordinary members. A technical amendment is proposed to section 18(3)(d) to change the reference from ‘chief executive’ to ‘Director General’, the correct title for the head of the HSE. Amendments Nos. 33 to No. 35 are consequential amendments.
