Yes, a Chathaoirligh. The Department stated it envisaged that the code of practice would be formulated to give guidelines to some of the detailed provisions of the legislation, yet from the draft heads I cannot establish who has the function of formulating that policy. In going through the legislation it is important to detail the origin, source and point of contact. I stand to be corrected, but I see that amendment No. 335 states:

In page 75, line 8, after “Oifigiúil” to insert “and on the Internet website or by other electronic means referred to in section 56(2)(p)”.

I am therefore seeking that section 63(2) be amended to take into account the guidance required for the code of practice with respect to the draft general scheme for making advances on health care directives and the insertions as laid out in amendment No. 317.
