I wish to ask one small point of clarification. Dr. Kevin Walsh stated current practice will not be changed by the legislation and then stated women go to England because they have heart conditions which cannot be treated here. Will Dr. Walsh clarify this? It cannot be both. Does Dr. Walsh have evidence as to why people go to England? Last time we heard evidence of people going for a sixth abortion.
