Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion
Dr. Mary Short:
I concur with Dr. Henchion. It is very hard to single out one group of people who should be afforded free contraception. It is inappropriate. Providing only LARCs would afford no choice at all. It sends out the wrong message in that we are dictating a choice to a woman when, in fact, she should be able to avail of all options if she so chooses.
