I should not have said "been refused" and I accept that. I should have said "not received the required certificate". In other words, two medical practitioners under section 7, for example, have jointly certified in good faith. One could seek a review if one did not get the certificate. It is not that it is refused but that one does not get the certificate. I am anxious to correct what I said because Deputy Conway had a fair point in saying that there might have been divided opinion. The reality of the situation is that the woman did not get the required certificate which would have allowed the procedure to proceed so therefore she sought a review.
