My answer to this is as it was to the earlier two questions. I have not seen any of and I have not had raised with me outside of this chamber right now the concerns that Senator Hanson raises with me. But, in order for a stillborn baby payment to be paid, what is required is a paper based form from the hospital containing a doctor's and midwife's declaration that is used as a verification of the stillbirth. That is what is required to get that payment.
