Work is ongoing on the legislation to regulate termination of pregnancy with the intention of publishing it in the House as soon as possible in this session. This legislation will be based on the General Scheme of a Bill entitled Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill approved by Government on the 10 of July and published on my Department’s website.

A range of issues are being considered in developing the legislation and operational response to the referendum.
