In his contribution, Professor McCarthy referred to mental health outcomes after induced abortion and research evidence in the area. He pointed out that there is no significant research in Ireland. He gave the caveat that the advice he would give is that any research be looked at in a critical, informed and objective manner. He then spoke about the review of the mental health outcomes of induced abortions from the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges in the UK. He went through the key findings. I want to focus on the last finding.
