Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 14:

In page 4 subsection (4), to delete lines 41 to 43, and substitute the following definition:

"'relevant designated centre' means the designated centre at the appropriate level of security for the part of the country where the patient ordinarily resides, or the Central Mental Hospital.".

The amendment proposes a practical measure, which it would be wise to include. People should, if possible, be placed in secure units as near as possible to their families because it is important that prisoners should maintain contact with their families. Few patients in the Central Mental Hospital receive family visits. That is why I tabled the amendment.
