Okay. One of the aspects of this particular review is there seems to be a clash over access and the qualification of the medical professional who delivers care for the mother. I have spoken to the mother in this case. She is disappointed that she has not had a conversation with Ms O'Shea. In her view the idea of reducing it to one obstetrician to make the decision would mean the protection for the mother's care would be reduced. We have heard in the report that Ms O'Shea is worried that the criminalisation element creates a chilling effect whereby obstetricians or medical professionals might find their names in the media because of something that goes wrong.
