I move amendment No. 37:

In page 50, to delete lines 4 to 7.

We are tabling an amendment to delete subsection (9) because, as drafted, it is in conflict with the HSE national policy for consent in health and social care research. It does not meet the standards for informed consent, in that consent for any activity should be specific, explicit and informed, and as informed as possible. The inclusion of this clause would not meet this threshold, so we are looking to delete it.
