The submission looked at the issues that the criteria relating to PPS numbers impose for undocumented people looking for abortion care. Apart from removing these criteria, how does the NWC think we can support undocumented people in achieving abortion care? Can we implement safeguards that would protect them from any fear of engaging with State services? I want to get the witnesses' thoughts on that.
