Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I move amendment No. 74:
In page 33, lines 23 to 32, to delete all words from and including “(1) Where” in line 23 down to and including line 32 and substitute the following:
“(1) Where a clinical director receives a recommendation for involuntary admission under section 16 in respect of a person, the clinical director shall as soon as may be arrange for a consultant psychiatrist on the staff of the registered acute mental health centre to carry out an examination of the person the subject of the recommendation.”.
