Ancillary Recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly Report: Department of Health and the HSE

Dr. Tony Holohan:

I will comment and perhaps my colleague from the crisis pregnancy programme might wish to comment. There are many alternatives if the subject of the question is unwanted pregnancy and the prevention of same, and limiting. It was stated earlier that prevention is better than cure. That is preferred. In broad terms, the set of services mandated through the sexual health strategy and the programme points in that direction, if that helps to answer the question. There is a wide range of alternatives available in terms of contraception and so on.
