I move amendment No. 102:
In page 14, to delete lines 4 to 11.
This amendment relates to the restrictive timeframes. There may be some confusion, and perhaps we could get clarity on this. The Bill defines early life care information as the information gathered from birth up until the age of 18. Section 2 (2) states that a person's early life care information only covers the period after the birth only until the time the child is adopted. Perhaps we could get clarity on that.
