Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Deirdre Duffy:
Ireland has a specialist research group, led by Professor Keelin O'Donoghue, which is internationally recognised in palliative care in pregnancy loss. It is led by service providers and specialists. I believe they received international awards and recommendations from peer-reviewed bodies for their work in this area. Their inclusion within this group that has been recommended would certainly be valuable, but it is the Department of Health's decision, ultimately.
