Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

David Cullinane: I welcome the witnesses from both organisations and thank them for their comprehensive opening statements as well as their extensive submissions to the review. I thank them for their work in this area. It is clear from the import of both presentations that women are still travelling for abortion services. Perhaps I will start with the IFPA, whose representatives said that this was a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

David Cullinane: I thank Ms Spillane. I will probably not get to ask all of my questions, given that there are many that I wish to ask, so I will focus on the opening statement of the National Women's Council and some of the data presented on poor national coverage, which were shocking in and of themselves. Am I correct in saying that the data that Ms O'Connor presented were data that the National Women's...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

Only 7% of GPs who provide care to the general public are registered with the My Options service. That is even less than 10%. Half of counties have fewer than ten GPs offering the service, but that is not the worst of it, given that there is a range....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

David Cullinane: I have a follow-up question. I support the recommendation that medical providers should be obliged to record refusals of care on the grounds of conscience and to detail the services they refer women and pregnant people to. That is important. As much data as it is possible to record should be recorded, because that will inform us about this aspect. It should not only inform this review...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

David Cullinane: I wish to come back in here because I do not want to be unfair to any of the maternity hospitals involved. It may well be that capacity issues are at work here. Where those exist, they must be addressed, and it is for the Minister for Health and the Department to do that. What I am hearing from the NWCI's opening statement, though, is that only one in ten GPs is providing services, and not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (27 Apr 2022)

David Cullinane: To ask the question more distinctly, and drawing on what I read in the opening statement, what is involved here are not simply problems with the operation of the Act but problems with the Act itself.
