I am going to lead on from where Deputy Smith was in respect of socioeconomic factors. It is a question I would have asked of previous witnesses. It has to do with children in foster or residential care. How are those issues addressed through the legal framework in the witnesses' country? If a teenager or young adult finds herself pregnant and there is a care order for her, in this country, if she wishes to have an abortion there has to be a full court sitting.
