I also fully support this amendment. The question of treatment is essential. How can the Government insert "care or treatment" and not accept "care and treatment" in a situation like this as has been explained by Senator Henry? It is inexplicable, because treatment should be there and the people affected must be treated as patients. They should also be entitled to treatment. I ask that the Minister reconsiders this issue in view of the points made so eloquently by Senator Henry.
