Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services (Safe Access Zones)) Bill 2022: Discussion

Ms Caitriona Mason:

We are aware of this issue and working on it. This point arose. The Chair is looking at exemption No. 3 under head 5. The intention here from a policy perspective is that this would exempt the imparting of clinical or medical advice and not ideological advice. If there is a medical reason someone cannot have a termination, then that would not be excluded. It is clinical and medical information and advice that we are attempting to exclude in that instance.
