Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution

Crisis Pregnancy and Primary Care: Irish College of General Practitioners

2:00 pm

Dr. Karena Hanley:

In terms of any legislative change that may occur, approximately 10% of general practitioners conscientiously object to any form of abortion. That is a useful figure because it shows that there is a cohort of between 50% and 80% who would be available to deal with whatever legislation is enacted.

As we said before, we are in a very good position to adapt our training and to make sure the knowledge and skills are there.
