Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Janice Walshe:

The figures are so low because those particular cases were complex and completed in combination with other physicians required as part of multidisciplinary care. We discuss the need for termination intermittently but regularly. Much of this, as Dr. Holian outlined, does take place in the maternity hospital by virtue of the fact it has more resources available and proper psychological care for those patients undergoing something that is very difficult.
