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. Catherine Conlon:

Another issue is the confinement of the professional clinician or health professional who is able to administer or prescribe the care to a GP. From the WHO perspective, there are competencies to administer this care among other health professionals, including midwives and nurse practitioners. That is another way in which the capacity of our health service could be looked at in terms of its ability to meet the need for this care.
