We have not seen the full submission of the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to which someone alluded. We have only seen today's speaking notes. Does the submission include any concerns of obstetricians and gynaecologists about their role in certifying or carrying out abortions, particularly on grounds of suicide? Dr. Sam Coulter-Smith, who will address the committee later, stated on radio today that asking obstetricians to get involved in the termination of pregnancies when there is little evidence to show that they are appropriate interventions creates a moral and ethical dilemma for doctors.
