Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion
Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Hourigan, I think, is asserting that the term "clinically appropriate" - her concern that has been raised by many others as well - would somehow give a woman's treating clinician the right, the power or the influence to say that he or she does not believe it is clinically appropriate, for example, for the woman to have an elective termination and, therefore, she cannot have one.
My understanding is that is the core. Counter to that, and I might ask Dr. Mahony to come in-----
