Mental Health (Involuntary Procedures) (Amendment) Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
It should have been stated it would replace section 3 with a new section providing for a different Title. The explanation that should be offered to the House is that the words "involuntary procedures" in the current Title of the Bill do not actually appear in the Bill, so it is more correct that it simply be referred to as the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill, as part of the series of mental health Bills and, therefore, there would be a collective citation as well. We have included the more correct citation of the Bill. I think Senator Boyle accepts the different wording of the Title.
