Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 244:

In page 134, line 37, to delete “and to the Commission”.

These amendments remove the reference to the Mental Health Commission from the notification of day-to-day operations of the registered mental health service in section 164(3)(b). Compliance with the Act in this section has been moved to section 164(3)(d). It is not appropriate for the Mental Health Commission to be notified of the day-to-day operations of the service as it is the responsibility of the service provider and not the regulator to implement the services.
