Dr. Catherine Conlon:

On the conscientious objection piece, the ethical framework of Irish medical organisations, which govern clinicians' medical practice, addresses this issue. If a person has a conscientious objection to providing any form of healthcare, if that is in place and if a person presents for that form of healthcare, the clinician is ethically obliged to refer that person on for care from another provider who is willing to do it. The review report is recommending that this be placed on a statutory basis, if I am correct.
