They would not have the wherewithal to do it. We will collectively try to do as much as we can. I read the Irish Cancer Society's report, but I would have known the situation anyway. If someone has to go off work at the time of the initial diagnosis, having to face additional charges is regrettable. I hope that we will be in a position to follow up on that.
We will have an opportunity to ask questions tomorrow. We have heard of some of the difficulties experienced by women engaging with RCOG. Are there other examples that pursuing tomorrow morning might be worthwhile? Much of this is anecdotal evidence. Some of it I already have, as people have contacted me. People have also contacted other committee members. Are there examples of what we should be honing in on tomorrow?
