I thank the Minister. Will the review also look at findings of recent reports such as, Too Many Barriers, by the Abortion Rights Campaign, which highlighted structural, social policy and practical barriers that prevent legal access to abortion? An example of some of the findings include a lack of English interpreters, geographic disadvantage, lengthy travel times and participants citing not knowing where to get an abortion or where to find information on abortion. I ask the Minister to comment on that.
