I know everyone wants to contribute so I will finish with one question and perhaps come back in when everyone else has finished.

Would it be fair to say when it comes to perinatal mental health, those feelings of agency and control are incredibly important for people who are pregnant and, in that context, do the witnesses take a view on the suspension of particular services, such as home births, or, for example, during the Covid pandemic when visitors were not allowed? How does that interact with the witnesses' services and do they take a view on the home birth issue, for example?
