Mr. Kilian McGrane:

There are two elements to Senator Burke's question. If a woman is identified with an anomaly, then she needs or may need foetal medicine expertise. That may or may not be available in one of the smaller units. If not, there is a referral to a tertiary unit where that expertise or a consultation can be provided, in which case there is no transfer of care for the woman from the smaller unit to the larger unit. In the event that the anomaly is severe and she needs tertiary level expertise, then there may be a transfer. If that happens, the care should absolutely be transferred from the local unit to the senior unit.
