I move amendment No. 7:

In page 14, lines 3 and 4, to delete "order or a renewal order" and substitute "order, a renewal order or a proposed transfer under section 35,".

Amendments Nos. 7 to 9, inclusive, have been grouped. Amendment No. 7 is an amendment to include examinations for the purpose of an application for transfer to the Central Mental Hospital within the definition of "examination".

Amendment No. 8 is a technical amendment to delete the reference to "for any purpose" as the definition of "examination" explicitly sets out the purposes of an examination under the enactment.

Amendment No. 9 includes the words "judgement" and "emotion" as part of what is examined in an examination under this enactment to ensure that the definition of "examination" aligns with the definition of "mental disorder".
