(b)in the subsequent provisions of[F1 that Order] any reference to execution in the manner required by the previous provisions of[F1 that Order] shall be construed as a reference to execution in the manner required by paragraph (1).
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), any such will executed in accordance with paragraph (1) shall have the same effect for all purposes as if the patient were capable of making a valid will and the will had been executed by him in the manner required by the[F1 Wills and Administration Proceedings (Northern Ireland) Order 1994].
