Thank you Chairman. I thank our witnesses for their presentation. I only asked the question to find out more about the basis on which they come to their conclusions. In respect of counselling, the IFPA gives non-directive counselling. Can Dr. Henchion give some information about the number of women who might have already made up their minds as to what they are going to do before they came for counselling and afterwards? Can she give a general ballpark figure?
