I do understand that the Minister of State is getting my point about the chain of authority. This is limited in two ways: first, the Government should amend the words "this section" because one could argue that it applies only in this section; second, a definition is vital and if the phrase “chemical restraint” appears elsewhere the Minister of State should give us the precise page references. Given that the Minister of State said that a caregiver or a nurse would not be the decision-making representative prevented from administering a medication, which is not necessary for a medically identified condition, who are these decision-making representatives? We need to know. Is it an attorney? Who are we talking about?
