Ms Marie O'Shea:

I think the Department of Health should initiate it and lead it, because it is legislation and policy. It needs to engage with the main stakeholders, and the officials know who they are across the service providers. There is an organisation whose members are people who had to travel abroad for termination of pregnancy for foetal anomalies. They should certainly be on board. In terms of the legal implications of the survival of termination of pregnancy and what sort of care survivors should receive after they are born, it would be helpful to get legal clarification for them on that if it is needed. Quite often, it is very good to have the voice of an ethicist in a room to guide people. They are quite neutral, so they are always very helpful.
