Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

In respect of the amendments I tabled, I welcome the Minister's effective acceptance in amendment No. 13 of the point I made in amendment No. 14, which I will withdraw. As for amendment No. 15, Labour Party Members tried to include the United Nations Committee against Torture because they believed this section gives a right to visit a prisoner to the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture and believed it might be appropriate to cover the United Nations committee as well. Has the Minister a further opinion in this regard?

The Minister's new wording in amendment No. 13 no longer mentions psychologists although the other categories are still present, as well as the Minister's additions. Does he believe that psychologists are covered by the term "medical advice or treatment"? While he may do so, psychologists might not be covered by it. I ask the Minister to comment in this respect.
