I hope that the allocation of €12 million to the HSE has been, or will be, released in full. The Minister of State answered the question on access to abortions for women at risk of serious harm. How is refusal of care being managed to ensure those who do not wish to be involved in service delivery are not in a position to obstruct colleagues who are conscientiously committed to providing abortion care? What is the HSE doing to ensure hospital staff, including those not involved in abortion care, receive appropriate training with respect to values, professionalism and ethics? In his reply, the Minister of State said that all 19 units "should be in a position" but I want to know whether they will be in a position to do so.Will the Minister of State give an assurance that will be the case? It is really important that this is in place by the end of this year at the very latest.
