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. Deirdre Duffy:

On the suggestion to expand the range of service providers or professionals who can give it, I will draw attention to the comments from service providers who have worked with inclusion services. I refer to health service providers, rather than termination of pregnancy service providers, who have worked in inclusion services and for people in vulnerable populations. Allowing them a point of entry to a health service in order to provide care would assist those marginalised populations. Expanding who can provide care beyond consultants would assist with that.
