- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (31 May 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: The point I was making is that the person had not necessarily made up their mind and may have then used the three days to make a complete flip-over to some other decision. They may have not made a solid decision when they were going there.

Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I have one other question and Ms O’Shea quite helpfully confirmed with one of my colleagues that we are not confined to the legislative changes which she suggests.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Report of the Review of the Operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018: Discussion (31 May 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I refer to the section 20 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 on notifications. Doctors must directly notify the Minister every time they provide abortion care. That does not happen in any other aspect of healthcare. That is very stigmatising of the service. Given the fact that the information collected is not very useful, should we get rid of that section 20...

- Seanad: Capital Investment in the Health Service: Statements (1 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: The Minister is always welcome to the Seanad. I do not know where to begin with his statement because it is so large. Having more than €1 billion in funding available is phenomenal. The Minister also mentioned primary care centres, surgical hubs and the national children's hospital. It is all fantastic work and we are very happy with progress and the amount of money that has been...

- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Second Stage (13 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I welcome the Minister back to this House and to the Houses of the Oireachtas following her maternity leave. I am in favour of hate crime legislation. It is not before time that we are updating the position. However, I have some concerns about the legislation and more so about what is not in the legislation rather than what is. Specifically, I am concerned at the lack of antisemitism...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I was following the meeting online and heard all of our guests' contributions. I really appreciate the work they put into their opening statements as well as the time they are spending with us today. I know they are all volunteers. The work they are doing, on a very limited budget and with only volunteers, is absolutely tremendous. There is far more public awareness of endometriosis now...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: Are there continuing professional development, CPD, modules available for GPs currently working in Ireland who want to improve or update their knowledge, or get any knowledge, of endometriosis?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: That is incredible. The witnesses are not aware of any formal training for young GPs who are currently being trained, so it is up to them to take it on themselves to Google it. Is that what this country is allowing in respect of a very serious condition? The witnesses described how serious it is.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)
Lorraine Clifford-Lee: I hope that as part of the national endometriosis framework, funding will be provided for GPs. Perhaps we could get somebody in from the Department of Health to tease that out. Is awareness increasing? Are people becoming more aware at a younger age?
