Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Review of Scope and Structure of Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act: Engagement with Minister for Health

Ms Geraldine Luddy:

In fact, there were arrangements in place. The HSE put arrangements in place to go out to the hospitals that were not performing and that were not participating and to have meetings in regard to that but Covid hit in March 2020 and those appointments were cancelled. It is my understanding that has been reinitiated now and they are hoping to bring more hospitals on board for the full range of service.
