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.
