I move amendment No. 46:

In page 9, line 13, to delete “of serious harm”.

There was enough discussion about this at the eighth amendment committee and many of the medical professionals who gave evidence were clear that it is not possible to grade risk in this way. They told the committee that it is difficult for them to respond medically to the words like "serious". For that reason, we want to see the deletion of "serious harm".

Are we going to discuss amendment No. 53 as well?
