Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion
Dr. Caitriona Henchion:
It is, again, about looking at everybody as an individual. While HSE websites, for example, provide lots of information about methods, in some cases a person might have two or three health issues, and while one of them alone might be fine, together they might not. No amount of public information will be able to educate people sufficiently to give them that level of knowledge. That is what healthcare professionals are for.
Taking the cost out of accessing contraception from a healthcare professional is the way to go about trying to prevent those sorts of public safety issues arising.
