Peadar Tóibín

Question:

617. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health the steps he has taken by to address the gap in clinical genetic services at the National Maternity Hospital in the period between receipt of a protected disclosure (details supplied) and the mistaken abortion at the hospital; and when the necessary clinical genetic services will be put in place. [39532/20]

Written answers

Minister for Health

The Deputy will appreciate that I am not in a position to confirm whether a protected disclosure, on the lines outlined in the question, has been notified to me. The question has however been referred to the HSE, so that the Deputy might be apprised of any developments in clinical genetic services in the National Maternity Hospital, in recent years.
