Ms Marie O'Shea:

On the sequence, the criminal sanction, as it applies to medical practitioners, would encourage more medical practitioners to come on board. It would take some of the tension, as described and originates from criminal sanction, out of the multidisciplinary team meetings. I think that would definitely help in terms of recruitment and service provision.

The three-day wait could be legislated for as it would certainly help women. It does not appear to serve any functional purpose, particularly if safeguards are there to keep the model of care in place and for people to know about that model of care.

In terms of engaging with the service users, certainly in light of the UnPAC report and the public consultation, there were just under 7,000 submissions to the public consultation. Some of those were in favour of changing and making the legislation more open while some were in favour of restricting it. A lot of the submissions came from organisations that represented service users and service users themselves, so certainly their views were taken into account. I will ask my colleague to talk about the terms of reference for the report and service users.
