Following on from Senator Ruane's point about what would ideally happen in a surgery, I have been in surgeries and I can see how, if a doctor is under pressure with a lot of people sitting outside waiting, the scenario might not be as ideal as the one outlined. GPs are instructed to give non-directive advice but if a GP is opposed to abortion is he or she seriously going to have it as an option?
