Victor Boyhan (Independent)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 9, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following: “Supports for the excluded

7. (1) Advocacy groups approved by the Minister shall be able to make recommendations to the Minister so that health services and education supports can be allocated to former residents who’ve been excluded from this Bill and previous redress schemes. The Minister shall have the ability to approve the recommendations made by approved advocacy groups on a case-by-case basis.

(2) Advocacy groups approved by the Minister shall be allowed to make recommendations to the Minister to expand the criteria for eligibility to redress using the power provided under Section 49 of the Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Act 2023.”.
