Re. Mrs. Bonnie Black,

25 Low Road,

Anytown.

DOB: 28 January 1990.

Dear Doctor,

Please see Mrs Black who is planning her first pregnancy. Her main concern is that her brother has cystic fibrosis.

This was the first time I had met her although she has been registered with us for 5 years – her health is good and she has no history of serious illness or surgery.

I have explained that I don’t know much about the implications of the brother’s cystic fibrosis for her potential pregnancies and that she needs to talk to an expert. I have stressed that the risk of her having a child with cystic fibrosis is high and that she needs to be aware that there is a distinct likelihood that any pregnancy would be likely to be affected and need TOP.

Yours sincerely,

John P. Clatter.

7.       Viva. Group B Streptococcus
