Dr. Catherine Conlon:

If I could, I will elaborate from the position of what women who are accessing care said, given that they are trying to navigate - as Ms O'Shea described in her response to Deputy Durkan's question - a very complex care pathway as they seek very time-sensitive healthcare. The three-day wait not only has no medical or legal underpinning, one of the things it is doing is causing anxiety and distress.
