Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

1:00 am

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 42:

In page 7, subsection (3)(b), line 49, after "so" to insert "subject to the agreement of the relevant consultant psychiatrist of the relevant designated centre or, in the case of the Central Mental Hospital, a consultant psychiatrist from that hospital".

I disagree with the Minister about these amendments since it is a good idea to have some idea whether those who will accept the person are able to treat him or her.
