Clause 9

MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (11.26): Madam Speaker, I move:

Page 4, line 6, subclause (1), omit "written or oral".

Again this amendment clarifies the form of directions.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Proposed new clause 9A

MR CONNOLLY (11.27): Madam Speaker, I move:

That the following new clause be inserted in the Bill:

Cessation of direction

"9A. A direction ceases to apply to a person if the medical condition of the person has changed to such an extent that the condition in relation to which the direction was given is no longer current.".

This amendment relates to the extent to which a direction remains valid. It says that a direction ceases to be valid if it was conditional upon a condition that has ceased to apply.

Proposed new clause agreed to.

MR MOORE (11.27): I move:

Page 4, lines 21 and 22, paragraphs (1)(b) and (c), omit the paragraphs, substitute the following paragraphs:

"(b) any alternative forms of treatment that may be available;
