============================================================

Nessa Cosgrove (LAB), Labour Panel

I move amendment No. 125:
In page 64, lines 22 to 24, to delete all words from and including “prior” in line 22, down to and including line 24 and substitute the following:
“:
“(i) prior to any treatment, other than treatment provided under section 48, 50 or 51 , being provided to the involuntarily admitted person,
(ii) as soon as possible and, in any case, no longer than 72 hours from the initiation of involuntary treatment for treatments provided under section 48, 50 or 51 .”.
