Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion
Lorraine Clifford-Lee (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I refer to the section 20 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 on notifications. Doctors must directly notify the Minister every time they provide abortion care. That does not happen in any other aspect of healthcare. That is very stigmatising of the service. Given the fact that the information collected is not very useful, should we get rid of that section 20 notification?
