When these ladies present to Dr. Henchion or to one of the units around the country, I know there is a consultation with Dr. Henchion but is there a follow up to the HSE, to the hospitals or anything when a woman finds herself in a position where she needs further care? Are there support mechanism for a person who is too far advanced in her pregnancy to be taking an abortifacient?
