I will allow the Minister of State, Deputy White, to comment on this too. My understanding of "in good faith" is that it has quite a bit of law around it. With regard to making a medical decision without full knowledge, that is medical negligence. It is medical negligence if a doctor is not up to speed with what is best practice and with modern day practice. We do not need to go back through some of the horrors of what has happened in this country's medical services over the past 30 years, to women in particular, to explore the consequences for a myriad of women in this country where that has been the case.
