I move amendment No. 134:

In page 14, line 29, to delete “objection.” and substitute the following:“objection, provided that--
(a) his or her refusal to participate in the carrying out of such a medical procedure does not cause an immediate risk to the life of the woman, and

(b) in the case of a medical practitioner, he or she shall forthwith--
(i) provide all relevant information to the woman about her right to such medical treatment, and

(ii) refer or transfer the woman to the care of another medical practitioner where such a medical practitioner is competent and readily available to participate in the carrying out of such a medical procedure.”.
