So come back to us then.
She should be able to get those tests that she requests.
And, you know, I asked the HSE and the Department of Health about, you know, additional scans and additional appointments that women might want throughout their pregnancy.
And they said that only scans and appointments are given in accordance to clinical need.
So they're not routinely given unless there's a clinical need identified, like if you had cramping or bleeding or spotting.
Well, you know, I think this whole conversation has begun about, you know, even women's mental health throughout pregnancy, pre and postnatal.
And a lot of women who have had difficulties or perhaps not positive experiences within the public system.
Just want that extra bit of reassurance, that extra bit of care, maybe seeing the same face at an appointment, having a scan maybe before the 12 week scan.
You know, I've spoken to women this week who have had miscarriages again, who want to have a scan at six, seven, eight weeks just to see that everything is going OK.
And at the moment, we're not having the conversation, I don't think, about what if we're going through to a slouch care model of public health.
Only care of maternity care.
What does that look like?
Does it mean levelling up the public service to more of a private care model?
Because at the moment we're talking about consultants and employment law and insurance and all the rest.
There are very human stories and women who are pregnant right now or who are planning pregnancies in the future and want to know what level of care they're going to be offered.
Yeah, I think a lot of people will be not satisfied I think with the decision being taken at this point.
As you mentioned, the Stop the Game campaign was really gaining momentum over the last number of weeks.
I think it's interesting that the operational concerns were cited.
In that statement, because we had a debate on that in the Dáil during the week.
And I think Charlie McConnell had said that Gardaí had said that they were capable of policing the game if it was to go ahead.
