Foetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. John Murphy:

We could appoint another geneticist. That has been done before. We have had issues like this previously. We have had to point additional neurologists to look at other issues. There could be a task force or a system to look at the cases and process the group of children. Reference was made to the difference in the numbers. We could look at the gap between the numbers known about and the numbers that potentially exist.
