Joint Committee On Health

General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Department of Health

Mr. James Kelly:

Yes. It will be removed from the final Bill. This provision was included because the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel wants to make sure there is an implicit understanding in any legislation that things can only be made available subject to the resources provided. The office wanted to make that explicit in the general scheme so that, when formal drafting began, that consideration would have been made explicit. It will not be in the final Bill.
