I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:“Amendment of section 82 of Principal Act

7. Section 82 of the Principal Act is amended in the definition of "advanced healthcare directive" in paragraph (a) by inserting after "capacity," the following:

"including persons being treated upon involuntary admission under the Mental Health Act 2001,".".

Following discussions, we intend to move and withdraw these amendments to allow for further consultation. We will table these amendments again on Report Stage. There was an error in the submission we originally made. The Bill was incorrectly referred to. The correct reference should be to "the Mental Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017". I apologise for the confusion. The submission we made should have referred to the No. 2 Bill. I am in the Chair's hands on this one.
