I thank the witnesses for their presentation. Many of the questions have been answered at this stage but I want to hone in on one area. We have spoken a lot about the impact on woman of having to travel. The witnesses mentioned women who cannot travel for various reasons. I want to ask them about that because I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for a doctor and also for the patients. Will the witnesses expand on what impact it has on patients who have asked for a termination but cannot travel? How does a doctor deal with that?
