I move amendment No. 44:

In page 61, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following: “(c) by the insertion of the following subsection after subsection (7):

“(8) Nothing in this Act shall prevent a Registered Medical Practitioner from exercising clinical judgment in a life-threatening emergency to disregard an Advance Healthcare Directive, where they reasonably believe it should not apply, or that the patient would not wish it to apply, in those particular circumstances.”.”.
