I thank Dr. Henchion for that.

Mr. Behan in his remarks, and if I am wrong on this, I apologise, said there was a shift in services and a shift in the way in which women were interacting or engaging with the IFPA. Will he elaborate on that?

My final question is to Dr. Henchion and if I misinterpreted what she said, I apologise. Will she elaborate on her point about having an abortion on socio-economic grounds? I believe she said it was not the way to go but I might be wrong on that. Will she elaborate on that view? I thank her again for being here.
