I am grateful to Senator Regan for his points and support. I still believe there is something odd about the wording, as he said. Perhaps it is unnecessary to delete the words "A person is in material breach" but the difficulty arises with the second part of the sentence which states: "Where the clinical director on reasonable grounds believes that...". It is unfortunate that some other choice of wording was not used. The Minister might examine that further, certainly as part of his overall review.
