I thank the witnesses for their presentations and their work in this area in reviewing what was put in place in 2018 and came into place in 2019. In real terms, that is a short time period and the scene has changed substantially. I have concerns about two areas. One is whether the witnesses are satisfied that adequate support services for women who have terminations are provided by GPs and the hospital system. Did any analysis identify a need to do a lot more in that area? What are the witnesses views on that?
