I might move on to the issue of fatal foetal abnormality and the definition of that, which Ms O'Shea touched on when she was replying to me earlier. I have come across a case in one large hospital, for instance, where the wishes of the patient were not dealt with. The person was going to the UK and was persuaded to check in with another medical facility. At that medical facility, their case were reviewed by two senior consultants, who took the decision, and in fact the decision was the correct one, that there was a fatal foetal abnormality. When that arises, there is no right of appeal and so on. Is there an adequate safeguard to deal with that issue where people find that the medical facility is not taking the best decision from their point of view and for their long-term healthcare?
