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:

There is always a referral to a foetal medicine centre. The Rotunda Hospital has a sessional arrangement with Cavan General Hospital or one of the other hospitals so there are sessional arrangements where a foetal medicine doctor will attend other centres, and it is not just the termination of pregnancy; it can be multiple pregnancies, twins or other complications. They would be involved in their care in terms of part of the assessment of whether they are eligible.
