I move amendment No. 9:

In page 44, line 25, to delete “organs, tissue samples or blood (or any material derived from blood)” and substitute “part of a body”.

These amendments relate to parts of the body. We are making an amendment, along with relevant consequential amendments in other sections, by inserting a definition of "part of a body". This is being done to reflect current post-mortem practice and to align with our policy intent. The definition better captures the material that might be removed as part of a non-coronial post-mortem examination. These amendments will replace "organs and tissues" with "part of a body" throughout Part 3 of the Bill.
