Dr. O'Shea may have seen the report in the papers last week from the head of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the UK.

She recommended that nurses and midwives should be able to administer the abortion pill. I presume in an Irish context and in light of what the witness said about the shortage of nurses, it would make perfect sense for somebody to go to a GP. Given that the relationship between a woman and her doctor is altered by potential criminalisation and barriers, it would be best if her doctor could provide the medical treatment the woman would probably access online without admitting it anyway. Is that a system that would work?
