Heads of Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013: Public Hearings (Resumed)

Dr. Yolande Ferguson:
He asked if I would have any difficulty with the Medical Council recommendation of two psychiatrists. I would not particularly. The way the Mental Health Act operates is elegant, with the GP followed by the psychiatrist. I suppose I would not have any particular concerns about two psychiatrists but I think the other is better. I do have a concern that an obstetrician would be asked to make an assessment though.
