    "content": "In Clause 73 on mental health, the Senate Amendments were that the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 73. Their justification was that there is existing legal framework and as such there is no need to have it included in this Bill. The Mediation Committee’s recommendation was that it rejected its deletion. Its justification was that mental health is a major health issue and its inclusion in the Health Bill, 2016 is to give effect to other legislations which may follow. The Mediation Committee agreed with the National Assembly’s position to reinstate Clause 73 with the following amendment: “Inserting the words “both at the national and county level” immediately after the word “country” appearing in paragraph (c) to read as follows: “Establish, manage and control mental hospitals having sufficient capacity to serve all parts of the country both at the national and county levels.” The justification is that the inclusion of mental health in the Health Bill which is the parent law anchoring health matters gives effect to other legislations which may follow."
