Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

This amendment was accepted in the Seanad. Instead of having the legislation refer to only one "person", it now refers to the plural, "persons". Clearly there will be a number of different persons involved in the multidisciplinary team. Members of the Seanad felt the use of the singular term "person" was inadequate and we were happy to accept the amendment.
