I thank the Member for taking my intervention and for his clarification on amendment No 30. Can he further clarify how it is drafted? Clause 31, as it is currently drafted, refers to "persons", which means that all persons who were admitted into an institution, once or multiple times, would receive the standardised payment. It does not specify whether someone was admitted as a baby and then as a mother. It defines anyone who is admitted under "persons" as a whole. I am just trying to understand the drafting.
