I welcome that. I have one other point regarding this group of amendments. There is some concern about emotive language being used. As an example, on page 46, line 28, there is a reference to "has a condition". I propose that we change the phrase "suffers from". That kind of language is used in multiple sections. I outlined just one example. The use of "suffers from" is considered ableist language by many campaigners.
