I know two women in this situation and it is particularly tough when they and their families voted in favour of repeal for this reason.

With regard to the three day wait we have heard a lot about the unintended consequences and people being timed out of the system. Some contributors have already made the point that we do not seem to have data on the initial intended consequence. Having said this, from the contributions that have been made today, and from the report, I am convinced by the argument on the unintended consequences but I do see that there is a gap in the data. Ms O'Shea has recommended another review in three years' time. What does she recommend we do better in terms of data collection so we have all of the information that all legislators feel they may require?
