Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Catherine Conlon:
No, I do not believe that, but what I would recommend is that our data collection systems as regards the service are much more systematic in order that we can understand people's pathways through the care service for quality reasons. The systematic research that has been undertaken from the data set that is able to look at people's patterns of return or otherwise by the IFPA does not suggest a high rate of people who are opting out because of the three-day wait.
