Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I will be brief because we have other matters to cover. If a recommendation were to come from the midwives' committee I do not believe the board proper would set it aside or ignore it. It will probably be more for the future but we hope to appoint people to boards who at least have a knowledge of the area and would therefore recognise that when a recommendation comes it would be both sensible and appropriate. I wish to reassure people on that score.
