Dr. Mary Favier:

GPs would not have this set of skills and we as a college do not currently expect, though it may change, that they acquire that set of skills because it is quite a skilled procedure as our expert colleagues would attest to, and there are issues of indemnity which would need to be explored. Our best information is currently that there is not an indemnity issue relating to the early termination of pregnancy but there is with regard to ultrasound scanning, which indemnity organisations have raised a flag about.
