I move amendment No. 17:

In page 52, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following:

“Amendment of section 84 of Principal Act

67. Section 84 of the Principal Act is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (1): “(1) A person who has obtained the age of 16 and who has capacity may make an advance health care directive.”.”.

Based on what the Minister told me, I am happy to withdraw this amendment and reserve the right to return to it on a later Stage.
