Mr. Peter Thompson:

I would hope that they have adequate counselling. They will get counselling from their foetal medicine consultant. They will get counselling from the midwives because often the women will stay, we will leave the room and they will have a private conversation with their midwives. In addition, a subset of women will need to have an input from other specialists and sometimes those specialists are clinical geneticists. Then the clinical geneticist will see the woman on her own or with her partner and discuss the impact. Sometimes these things can have an impact on the children who are already born so the clinical geneticist can discuss those things with the woman and whomever. It is important that there is a care pathway that includes clinical geneticists as well.
