Ms Liz McDermott:

We do not keep a dossier. We do not take this information to construct a dossier to use against hospitals. If the Deputy is curious to know and investigate the fact that people hear this counselling, that would have to be done as an investigative process. People make contact with us either online or after they get a leaflet or a care box from the hospital. They tell us their stories and in the course of their stories, they say what they were told, what they went through and that they do not know what to do. We are not there to start castigating hospitals. It is a point we make but we are there to support people going through this traumatic journey. We are not there to file a dossier but people's experiences suggest that medical guidelines and protocol are not being followed. While we are told that all supports will be given to pregnant women should they wish to continue with their pregnancy, that is not what women seem to experience, to our understanding, but we are not collecting data on this as such.
