Dr. Tony Holohan:

The Minister has covered most of the questions asked. I will deal with perinatal statistics and the flaws we found in the reporting system, an issue raised by Deputy Lucinda Creighton. It is not an assertion we are making. We have set out the actual gaps and their scale and what the differences or discrepancies are. There is a graph that shows we have a higher level of reporting and its quantity, if we were to define our perinatal reporting rate according to the definition we are recommending. That would allow us to say this is the impact we think it would have on our international league table assessment of our perinatal reporting rate. We know that there are variations in all reporting systems. I daresay that if other countries were to make the kind of analysis we have now made of our perinatal reporting systems, they would probably find similar weaknesses. There is an issue about comparing like with like when one gets into talking about the detail of perinatal reporting in different countries.

I think the Minister has dealt with all of the other questions asked, unless I have missed one.
