Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee (27 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I agree wholeheartedly with that. We may need to broaden it. It will be tough because there may not be a representative group. It could be possible for the committee to get the information we need by some other means. Perhaps the committee could get a submission. I am not sure how we could do it and it might prove to be tough to do. Without going into the detail, clearly there is an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: It is pure man flu I have. The working group put forward a number of possible directions: universal access, LARC, and a targeted scheme. I refer specifically to the front-line medical professionals in this regard. Do they have a view on whether it should be some or all, and what is the best way forward out of those choices? In an ideal world, what would they opt for?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Would the best time to incorporate that education, which could be as subtle as a chat, be immediately post-natal or immediately post-abortion so the opportunity is there to talk to that targeted group in the first instance? In that case, it would be a matter of having a chat with the person as to what suits her best and giving her the prescription. Money would not be a barrier in that case.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Working Group on Access to Contraception: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Then the window of opportunity is lost. If the person does not have the money in her back pocket when having the conversation, the window of opportunity is lost.
