I move amendment No. 59:


In page 12, line 27, to delete "The review committee shall," and substitute "Members of the review committee may, if necessary".
This relates to the requirement for the review panel to examine the pregnant woman. While I would have no difficulty with this in the vast majority of cases and I would expect this to be the case, there may be cases where it would not be appropriate to do so. Will the Minister comment on that?
