Would the results of blood tests and scans not be sufficient in a regular medical case to review it rather than having to physically re-examine the woman? Perhaps the Minister can also satisfy my curiosity about another issue. Will a pregnant woman have to make unnecessary trips in an ambulance to a hospital to be reviewed or will the review committee be brought to the woman? It is an issue if a woman is sick or her life is threatened that in order to undergo a review she would have to go to and from hospitals in an ambulance. I am concerned about that.
