I hear the Minister saying that the mere fact of being in the maternity services - I am paraphrasing so correct me if needs be - is not recognition that a woman was in the county home, unless she was in the county home. I am saying the recognition happens later on. Later on, we are saying that the circumstance of being in the county home, and a woman may have happened to be transferred there to have a baby, is considered as part of the experience. We are saying it is the same facility because they looked after each other in terms of which one provided what service. They were one and the same thing.
