I believe this is the point Deputy Donnelly or one of the other contributors made. It is a much stronger requirement to refer to the making of arrangements than providing information. I do not believe anybody with a conscientious objection wants to obstruct, impede or delay the provision of treatment for women. However, they object to having to actively participate in the making of arrangements. If making arrangements means the provision of information which is a less onerous task, does it fulfil the obligation to make arrangements?
