We had a discussion during pre-legislative scrutiny on care information. The definition was highlighted as being problematic. It is important to note this point was also raised by UN rapporteurs. We heard many compelling statements calling for a broader and more robust definition of care information. This set of amendments represents a very strong and human rights informed understanding of care information. I encourage the Minister to accept the amendments.
