Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion

Mr. Andrew Conlon:

It was an online survey for which one could use one's phone. There was also a press release and the Minister launched the online consultation. It was self-selecting and results were received by our research unit. While I received the information only yesterday, 3,500 of the 5,000 responses were completed submissions. The rest were ones where people dipped in and out and did not finish. I do not wish to mislead anyone in respect of the figure of 5,000, given that only 3,500 submissions were complete.
