I second the amendment. There is something odd about the wording which states that a person is in material breach if the clinical director believes that to be the case. There must be some objective grounds for that. It must be that there is a breach on the basis of some objective grounds, and the clinical director forms a view on the basis of those objective grounds. In supporting this amendment I do not wish to restrict the ability of a clinical director to take action and direct that there is a breach but the wording is flawed, and the Minister of State might reflect on that before we finalise this Bill.
