Ms Marie O'Shea:

That illustrates the subjectivity of the decision-making. We would expect that the larger hospitals might have a larger volume of cases and that, therefore, there would be experiential learning, perhaps more than would be the case in smaller foetal medicine units, but I am told by people in the larger hospitals that it is an issue for them as well. There are also separate issues relating to the supports that are needed to assist in making the diagnosis, one of which is access to consultants in foetal genetic medicine, although I am not sure whether that is the correct term-----
