This is relevant because we received information on the survey by e-mail.
Dr. McCarthy asked a question which I would like to echo on whether psychiatrists have ever signed a form for involuntary detention of a patient due to the risk of them being a danger to themselves? Could they ever foresee that they might have to do that for a pregnant woman? I will leave it at that. Perhaps the Chairman will allow me to speak again if necessary.
