I thank Ms Cullen-Delsol for sharing that with us. The written submission from Termination for Medical Reasons Ireland included two testimonies, by Aoife and Sarah. Sometimes other medical issues arise, such as sepsis, which was a very big risk to Aoife, or, for Sarah, issues relating to continuing care that had to happen in a psychiatric hospital which, she says, was not to do with the termination but how she was treated. Might Mr. Edwards expand on those a little bit?
