Dr. Joanne Fenton:

I will address some of the questions from Deputy Fitzpatrick, the first of which pertains to an absence of clinical markers. As Dr. Jeffers mentioned earlier, we are trained to carry out risk assessments and to look after carefully and treat the women. It takes many years to do this but we are very competent in making those assessments. In the case of a woman who presents for an assessment stating she wants to have a termination and who is psychotic, it would be our role to treat that psychosis, rather than making the judgment to have a termination. Consequently, it is within the capacity. In addition, we would make that decision along with the obstetricians. We would make our psychiatric assessment and then would speak with the obstetricians, so we would work as a multidisciplinary team.
