Mr. Liam Woods:

A number of members referred to the availability of ultrasound scans. I would like to provide clarity in response to the questions that were asked. Scans are available to all patients at 20 to 22 weeks at six sites: Holles Street, the Coombe, the Rotunda, University Hospital Galway, Cork University Hospital and - with a slight variation - University Hospital Limerick. In the latter case, a clinical decision is required before a second scan is carried out. I think that is the point Deputy Kelly was making.
