I apologise to the committee. That little bit slipped by me with regard to a woman refusing treatment. A doctor cannot certify if a woman refuses treatment. I thank the Deputy for catching this. I re-emphasise what I stated earlier today and yesterday. A doctor cannot certify and the test for certification cannot be met if, in his or her view, the woman has not availed of other treatments which, in his or her view, could ameliorate or avert the threat.
