Mr. Liam Woods:
There are two dimensions to the question. In terms of the definition of a crisis pregnancy, it might be useful to ask Ms Donlon to give us a commonly used definition. In terms of clinical response to crises we have services in place, as women present at maternity hospitals as the Deputy referenced, to respond to a pregnancy crisis. Was the Deputy talking initially about crisis pregnancy as in the counselling piece?
