I also oppose these amendments. With a GP-led service, the GP would be in charge. Even if one is sent to the nurse, the GP would know what is going on. I disagree with Deputy Coppinger. Abortion is a big thing and can go very wrong, like anything else. It needs to be supervised by a GP because the people voted for a GP-led service.
