View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, section 7 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 states:
“The Minister shall, not later than 3 years after the commencement of this section, carry out a review of the operation of this Act.”
The review clause was included in the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 in order to facilitate monitoring of the operation of the legislation in practice, as well as of the delivery of services in the area.
The Programme for Government Our Shared Future notes that the review will take place in 2021.
