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:
As I said, this person will be required to do the work to undertake phase 2 of the review. Whereas the person will be have the title of independent chair, he or she will actually review the evidence and undertake to compile a report for the Minister on the recommendations. The chair will actually do the work, so perhaps it is the fact of him or her being called an independent chair that is causing the confusion.
