I have one last question which is linked. Professor Pajkrt spoke about the regulatory system that is in operation. I ask her to explain the regulatory regime. Does it serve the doctors well in terms of dealing with female patients? Can Professor Pajkrt identify any issues with the current law in the Netherlands that may limit practice? What would she do if she could improve it? I note that there is a vote in the Dáil.
