I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I am having difficulty in understanding the presentation by the Medical Council. The council witnesses said explicitly this morning that special procedures do not need to be developed for emergency situations. Do the witnesses present agree with the Medical Council? We are trying to gather information and work on it.

The doctors say they need clarity. What deficiencies are there in the medical guidelines? Finally, does the ethos of the hospital affect how pregnant women are treated in hospitals?
