The issue we raised in respect of personal advocates in the context of section 2 also applies here. I question whether what is proposed in our amendment would constitute a potential charge on the Exchequer, particularly if it could done through the National Advocacy Service. I refer here to putting in place an interim solution for those women who lack capacity. I take on board the fact that the Minister of State has indicated that he will consider this matter between now and Report Stage and that, at that time, he will possibly provide more information on the Government's plans in respect of this issue.
