Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Report and Final Stages.

 

4:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 41:

In page 7, line 43, after "may" 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, the advice of a consultant psychiatrist from that hospital".

The purpose of this amendment is to try to get advice on where the courts were sending a prisoner who would become a patient. I doubt very much if I will get anywhere with it.
