The other thing I wanted to ask about was the third recommendation and the delay that has occurred. Was it the Department's intention just to wait infinitely for this legislation to be enacted? What was the proactive background work from the Department when it became aware there were numbers of women who did not have the capacity? Obviously, when capacity is constrained, that has an impact on the possibility of living through that period. What triggered the move to looking at the wards of court scenario in terms of the timeline?
