HC Deb 14 July 1978 vol 953 c1967

Lords amendment: No. 16, in page 7, line 22, leave out from "section" to end of line 23 and insert 108(1) of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978

Mr. Robert Hughes

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

This is a purely drafting amendment, the purpose of which is to ensure that the definition of the word "illness" in Clause 5(2) is as accurate as possible and in line with the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The amendment is a necessary consequence of the current consolidation of the Scottish National Health Service legislation, including the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947.

Question put and agreed to.
