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:
It is subjective; that is an element of it. That is why I recommended a collective leadership approach where the Department of Health would bring in stakeholders to discuss and get a better understanding the problems with implementing section 11 of the Act. That is needed before any legislative change to make sure that, if legislation is changed, what is there is capable of being clarified and that they can say with some certainty and clarification that you are eligible to have an abortion.
