The word "report" is not the word I had in mind. If I used it, I was mistaken. I asked whether Dr. Henchion would consult or engage with those agencies, because I am sure they also have the health of that woman uppermost in their minds. Maybe the IFPA would not have all the facilities that would be available to the statutory agencies such as the HSE. I am somewhat surprised that Dr. Henchion would exclude that option.
Where the partner or the putative father has become involved, has Dr. Henchion found that helpful to the woman, to the situation in general, or is it to the contrary?
