Where in the heads of the Bill did it say the taxpayer would pay for abortions?

I have friends who campaigned and voted on all sides but even those who voted "Yes" have come to me since with a problem with the taxpayer paying for terminations, particularly when the health service is in crisis anyway with waiting lists but I will not go into all of that. Recently I met a woman who has a gynaecological problem and has been on waiting list for two years. She has a problem with terminations being paid for by the taxpayer even though she campaigned for a "Yes" vote. Will Deputy Nolan include fatal foetal abnormality in the exceptions?
