End of Life Choice Bill
Hon Maggie Barry, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
Clause 21
Replace clause 21(5)(c) (page 15, line 23) with:
the number and nature of complaints received about alleged breaches of this Act:
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the End of Life Choice Bill by ensuring that the reporting requirement does not apply only to complaints that resulted in a “breach” finding.
“breach”
The number of complaints that did not result in the Registrar determining that a breach occurred is at least as significant a detail, to the extent that it may reflect public understanding (or otherwise) of the regime and also the Registrar’s decision making patterns.
