I must state again that all we are looking for is a par with what doctors in the UK must report. This information is needed in the interests of the health service and the new abortion system. All information would be strictly confidential. Such information is recorded by GPs in hospitals for every other procedure, so why would anyone object to doing likewise for abortion? All information would only be published in the same way as all Department of Health and HSE statistics. I repeat that the Bill provides for the Minister for Health to review its operation after three years.
