Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Marie O'Shea:
In terms of the Department of Health, everything that it does should be evidence based. The WHO guidelines are evidence based so I would not see why the Department would not consult on them. How far it wants to take those guidelines is a matter for the Department. I cannot comment further because I would be giving a personal opinion, and that is not appropriate.
