Question:

836. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to a situation which has arisen in which doctors are not being reimbursed by the HSE for providing abortion services to migrants, international students and others resident here but who do not possess a PPSN; his plans to address the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

Termination services are available without charge to women resident in Ireland.  The relevant fees for these services have been established and are paid to GPs who provide the service by the HSE.  As the operation of payments is an operational matter, I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to this aspect of the question.
