Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution
Termination in Cases of Foetal Abnormality: Mr. Peter Thompson, Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital
1:30 pm
Mr. Peter Thompson:
I do believe in the system that is present in the UK at the moment. Whether the Republic chooses to move down the road to a different system I acknowledge is its position completely and not for me to decide on in way, shape or form. However, I am happy to come here and discuss what the English experience is of working under a set of laws where the termination of pregnancy is available to women for babies with a significant abnormality.
