We will work through the recommendations, as I said. We come from a position where we acknowledge that, depending on where you live and what services are available, there is a lack of fairness in terms of access to services across the country, and that particularly women living outside of major metropolitan areas struggle to access affordable reproductive health care. We will be working through those. Again, I would say some of the intention of the government can be shown in the way we are making substantial investments in the area of women's health care, and we will continue to do that in our future budgets. We see access to reproductive health care as an essential healthcare service for women, and we will work through those recommendations as the ministers finalise those and take them through our cabinet process.
