TONI SEVERIN (ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I stand on behalf of the ACT Party to support this bill, the Accident Compensation (Maternal Birth Injury and Other Matters) Amendment Bill. The first thing I would really like to do is to thank the submitters. We had over 800 submitters, and many of these were women that had traumatic experiences while giving birth. And the stories that we heard from there are just horrific because of the amount of treatment that they were unable to access. Also, listening to women that had given birth overseas with one child and then came back to New Zealand and had their second child, and just the total way they were treated and how these injuries had occurred. Also, the other sad reality, we heard from these women that have had a child and they are now not even considering having second or third children because of the traumatic birthing injuries that have occurred.
