-----after referral by another clinician. I refer also to the fact that a woman has to go abroad for a termination. There is obviously a cohort of women in this country who have not the capability or financial means to organise travel. Among both the indigenous population and the migrant community, in particular, there is a strong emphasis on religious culture, and they have views on abortion. Is there a cohort of women who are completely unable to gain access to any form of help or support because the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act is too cumbersome, because they do not know about it or because England is just too far away?
