I thank the panel for their expertise, observations and suggested amendments. In practical terms one must consider the situation of where a woman goes if she finds herself pregnant. Where does one go, who does one contact and how does one make the initial contact? I put the question to the GPs. Senator van Turnhout asked one of the questions I wished to ask. Do general practitioners believe that as the first port of call the information must come from them or their surgeries?
