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:

When we are talking to the Act, I mention the recommendation that there would be a regulation against a healthcare professional providing misleading information. That has certainly occurred, as evidenced in the Unplanned Pregnancy and Abortion Care study, which found that people are being told they are earlier in their pregnancy than they actually are. Anecdotally, I hear from clinicians as well that this is not an irregular occurrence.
