Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion

Ms Marie O'Shea:

I do not know but the impression I get is training and education are still required. There is a separate review of section 11 being conducted, commissioned by the chief clinical officer. Dame Lesley Regan is addressing that, particularly to look at what has been done to operationalise the Act. My understanding is that will not make it any easier for doctors to turn around and pinpoint the point of death.
