Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to recent reports in the media that a protected disclosure was made to his Department concerning warnings of issues pertaining to foetal diagnostic testing in 2018, some months before a perfectly healthy unborn baby was misdiagnosed and subsequently aborted in the National Maternity Hospital in 2019.

Minister for Health

As I have stated previously, and as the Deputy will appreciate, I am not in a position to confirm whether or not a protected disclosure of the nature referred to in this question, has been notified to my Department.
