Dr. Karena Hanley:

The point I was making was that they do not have any access to the aftercare services when they are travelling. In fact, the aftercare services are quite good in this country. There is a website called abortionaftercare.ie, which is supplied by the HSE and which provides access to some information, and the Irish College of General Practitioners, ICGP, guide on crisis pregnancy has a chapter on aftercare post-abortion which gives very good information on how to deal with all complications, psychological support for the woman and how to address contraception to prevent future crisis pregnancies. Once the access has been made very clear to the woman, the framework of aftercare is probably similar in both jurisdictions.
