On International Women's Day, I want to ask the Minister whether he thinks women's health matters as much as men's health in this country. If so, he must have been shocked by a recent report drawn up by a professor of psychiatry at Trinity College showing that women's mental and physical health is being affected by the ban on abortion in this country. Does the Minister intend to hasten the process of enabling women to access abortion in this country on health grounds?
