Regarding the number of terminations, I have the last figures available for them. The Minister is obliged to get those. There were more than 6,500 terminations in 2020, 2,414 of those were in Dublin and only 1.8% of those took place in a hospital setting, which leaves approximately 10% of those, the figure Mr. Menton mentioned, having taken place in St. Vincent's. Given that it is not really a public or private maternity hospital in that sense, it sounds reasonable that 10% of the terminations that took place in a hospital setting took place in St. Vincent's.
