962. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Health the Health Service Executive's policy on foetal abnormality testing; the State support provided; and the guidelines or policy that is in place for the HSE in dealing with religious and cultural beliefs that may be at odds with the welfare of women in this State.

View answerAntenatal screening i.e. tests that assess whether your unborn baby is at risk of certain conditions or abnormalities is part of the antenatal care provided to women during their pregnancy. The provision of antenatal screening is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive and as such, I have referred this question to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply.
