My question is directed to Professor Kieran Murphy. With regard to procedures to determine the entitlement and access to termination of pregnancy, the same questions have been asked repeatedly. Will Professor Murphy elaborate on the suggestion that the opinions and decisions of treating doctors should be documented? He also stated diagnosis should be evidence-based within a defined time limit. Questions on these have been asked day after day and I ask him to define them. He also stated the diagnosis should be notified by the treating doctor to the woman. People think this automatically happens. It is explained to a certain extent in the documentation but I ask Professor Murphy to elaborate.
