I thank Ms O'Shea for her presentation and the work she put in to this. Some of my questions have been asked. I will ask a question on one matter on which I will be interested in her perspective. She told us that, "The right to exercise conscientious objection by consultants has been attributed by senior managers at the HSE as a major reason why hospitals do not provide full services." Have we any particular insight into how the education system as we have it, whether it is the system in general or the education system for the training of doctors, and the hospital settings into which they go, influences this?
