Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 10 Hansard (25 November) . . Page.. 3030 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

This amendment is similar. It is a drafting tidy-up related to amendment No. 5, which we debated earlier.

Amendment agreed to.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (2.59 am): Mr Speaker, I move:

Page 7, line 28, omit "financial year", substitute "calendar quarter".

This amendment is cognate with amendment No. 27.

Amendment agreed to.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (2.59 am): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move together amendments Nos 31 and 32.

Leave granted.

MR MOORE: I move:

Page 7, line 33, paragraph (1)(d), omit "and".

Page 7, line 36, subclause (1), add the following new paragraphs:

"(f) the number of abortions performed at the facility which did not comply with the requirements of section 7 on the grounds of medical emergency; and

(g) if any details are reported under paragraph (f) - the kinds of emergencies that caused the requirements of section 7 not to be complied with.".

These are new requirements to provide for emergency cases to be reported by the facilities. That is what we have really been dealing with in the previous few amendments, which were effectively consequential on this.

Amendments agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Remainder of Bill, by leave, taken as a whole, and agreed to.

MR SPEAKER: The question is: That the Bill, as amended, be agreed to.

MR OSBORNE: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to address the Assembly.

Leave granted.
