Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, subsection (1), line 30, to delete "Disability" and substitute the following:

"Assessment and Services For People with Disabilities and Miscellaneous Provisions".

I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I am suggesting that the definition of "disability" should be broader, with a broader Title encompassing more of what we really intend to provide for people with disabilities. As it is currently drafted, the form of wording is unacceptable. As the Minister of State was involved in the debate on the Bill in the Dáil and has now had some time to consider that debate, I would be interested to hear what he has to say on this matter. He should consider more favourably the suggestion that instead of calling this legislation the Disability Bill 2004, it should be called the assessment and services for people with disabilities and miscellaneous provisions Bill. The latter title describes more accurately what we are trying to achieve for people with disabilities.
