Page 5, line 13, at end, insert:
("Provided that in the case of a person who is to be received into a licensed house or a nursing home or into charge as a single patient the recommendation shall not be signed by the person in charge, or by any person in the employment of the person in charge, or by any person interested in the house or home, or by any person in the employment of any person so interested.")
EARL RUSSELLMy Lords, this Amendment was inserted in another place to meet the suggestion that it was important to secure that the practitioner entitled to sign recommendations under Clause 5, subsection (3), should be entirely disinterested as regards the admission of the patient to treatment. These words provide, as your Lordships will notice, that they shall not be signed by any person who is so interested. I beg to move that this Amendment be agreed to.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Earl Russell.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
