On the definition before us, amendment No. 13 states, ""mental disorder” means, in relation to a person, any mental illness or mental health difficulty". If the Deputy has a problem with the term "mental health difficulty", he is actually speaking against the Government amendment. I seek some clarity on that. The new definition of mental disorder we are seeing in amendment No. 13 includes "illness or mental health difficulty". I would like some clarity on that.
