View answerThe final Report of the Review of the operation of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 was submitted to me at the end of February 2023. It made a range of recommendations, most of which are operational in nature, with some proposing legislative change.
The Report was considered by Government on 25 April 2023. As agreed by Government the HSE has established a service improvement group to progress the operational recommendations. There is regular engagement between my Department and the HSE in relation to the work of this group.
