In respect of people under 18 years, what structure would Mr. Saunders like to have put in place to deal with that issue in the proposed legislation? Mr. Saunders is right. The heads of the Bill are silent on that issue and it is an important point that he has raised.
The third question is for Dr. Janice Walshe. She suggested that two people should sign off in respect of the area that she deals with. I presume she would be happy that in an emergency one person would sign off, together with the obstetrician. Perhaps she will clarify the position.
