Dr. Áine Sperrin:

I might add that under section 16, if somebody has been refused access to an AHR service based on this potential parental capacity assessment, there is no mechanism to challenge that. If that section is to be included, there will need to be a mechanism for appealing that and for reasons to be given as to why it has been denied, whereby it will have to be clearly shown that it has not been on the basis of disability.
