View answerThe second Annual Report on the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018, which was laid before the Houses on 29th June last shows that during the period 1 January to 31 December 2020, 6,455 medical procedures were carried out in early pregnancy under the grounds set out in section 12 of the Act.
Payments to General Practitioners for the provision of termination of pregnancy services are made through the HSE’s Primary Care Reimbursement Service. I have therefore, asked the HSE to provide the information requested directly to the Deputy.
