Does the Minister envisage that the requirement to visit the woman would be part of the reviewers' contract? I am more familiar than others with the Higgins report. Consultants will work for a hospital group rather than a particular hospital. I assume the review panels will be formed along the lines of the new hospital groups. It should be incumbent on the members of the panels to travel to review the woman's case.
