I thank the witnesses for being here today. My first question is to Professor Arulkumaran. In regard to the British health system, all health care systems are dependent on their being able to recruit and retain medical staff, which has become a huge issue recently. We heard last week that Liverpool Women's Hospital has had to delay admissions of Irish women with a fatal foetal abnormality. In the context of Brexit, there seems to be a large immigrant cohort in the UK health service. In that regard, is it correct to say that we cannot depend on the British health care system being capable of delivering for people outside of the British jurisdiction?
