I will be very brief. I thank the minister for responding to the draft amendment on the same point that I lodged at a much earlier stage. It is very refreshing to see that he has recognised that the matter required attention. It would be wrong for consent to be given where a person has a mental incapacity and might not be able to give such consent themselves.
