The Disability Bill, as published, includes a provision that allows the Health Service Executive or head of the education service provider to refuse to implement the recommendation of a complaints officer. In such cases, the opinion would be set out in writing and could be appealed by the applicant. I was pleased to table an amendment in the Dáil which deleted that provision. Government amendments Nos. 17, 18 and 19 are technical amendments that seek to remove text that refers to the deleted provision and is therefore no longer relevant.
