Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Marie O'Shea:
I should say that in our study there was a person who had been the subject of a sexual assault and was pregnant as a result of that. The trauma of that inevitably meant that time was an issue. We need to carefully look at the impact of our model of care, our particular way of dating the pregnancy, and our very tight time constraints on the care pathway through the health service.
