Text
If you go back to the clause, you see that it refers to:
"A person who was admitted".
At the minute, clause 31(8) states "A person", so, in the scenario that your amendment describes, a person is not defined as being someone who was admitted as a baby and as a birth mother thereafter. I am just trying to understand the drafting of the amendment.
