Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion

Ms Marie O'Shea:

It is difficult. We do not have data, for a start, to know how many GPs provide the service. All we have is data to say how many contracts have been signed by providers in general practice. We know ten of the 422 are organisations including Well Woman, the IFPA and perhaps student union bodies. We assume there are multiple GPs in that providing services.
