I think my question has been answered but I am concerned about this point. Does the Minister envisage a case where, if the question is not asked or recorded in some way, a team could be assembled that all have a conscientious objection? How does one weigh up the woman's right to a termination versus a doctor's conscientious objection? If one does not ask the question there could in theory be a team in a particular hospital who are all conscientious objectors.
