I thank Dr. Lohr for the presentation. I believe I am correct in saying that most abortions in the UK happen under the broad mental health grounds, with sign-off from two doctors. Are women ever denied an abortion on these grounds? What would the reasons be for a denial? Does the phrasing of the grounds and the verification process ever act as a barrier?
