I thank Dr. Lohr for her presentation earlier. I am seeking clarification more than anything else because many of the questions have been asked.

Perhaps Dr. Lohr could explain this to me. It is possibly a lack of understanding on my behalf but when a person presents for an abortion at one of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinics - I am just trying to tease out the idea here - is there the opportunity for scans or anything else like that, particularly for late pregnancy presentations? The reason I ask that question is that we had various speakers in over the past number of weeks who discussed the viability of the child in the womb. I am just wondering if the service looks at that. Dr. Lohr stated earlier, in response to one of the members who asked about fatal foetal abnormalities, that the service does not really record it. Does the service record it? My questions are about viability and scanning, and the crisis pregnancy management, particularly for a late presentation.
