Professor Michael Turner:

I would be confident that the master, Dr. Sheehan, would respond positively to the Deputy's invitation.

I wish to return to the dietary question. Even if one does have a healthy diet it is difficult to get folic acid levels up high enough to prevent neural tube defects. This is why the education needs to focus on supplementation. It is a concern that a recent survey by us showed that many young women did not know they should be taking folic acid and moreover, they did not know why they should be taking it. They had not made the link between folic acid and neural tube defects. I agree that a national education piece needs to be set.
