Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 113a:

In page 18, to delete lines 43 and 44 and substitute the following:

"commence an assessment within the period specified in section 9(5) or to complete an assessment without undue delay, a recommendation that the assessment be provided and completed within the period specified in the recommendation;".

Section 15(8)(b) allows the complaints officer to investigate where an assessment is not completed within the timeframe specified in section 9(5). This amendment will allow the complaints officer to make a recommendation to require that a further assessment be carried out and to specify when.
