I move amendment No. 72:

In page 14, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:“(a) in the event of a procedure being carried out under section 9 or after a review the report shall outline the counselling provided or offered to the pregnant woman, details of the alternative treatments offered and the alternative treatments provided, and details of the evidential basis on which the decisions were made,”.

This amendment asks for detail to be provided, again on the basis that no one knows who we are talking about, on the procedures that were followed under section 9 applications or a review of a section 9 application. The amendment stipulates the provision in the report of details of the counselling provided or offered, details of alternative treatments offered and provided, and the evidential basis on which the decisions were made. It seems to me to be very basic information that should be in the report in order that people can make an assessment, based on the report, on the operation of what will be an Act.
