Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 7:
In page 4, subsection (1), between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following definition:
" 'patient' means a person detained in a designated centre pursuant to this Act;".
The appropriate place for definitions is normally in the definitions section at the beginning of the Bill. In section 12 of this Bill there is a definition of the word "patient". I am simply proposing that this definition be relocated to section 1.
