Minister for Health Simon Harris received Government approval for the legislation which will provide for the Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy in Ireland, following the passing of the Referendum in May. Minister Harris said
“I had committed to bringing the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018 to Government this week and I have fulfilled that commitment. Although my intention was to also introduce this legislation into the Oireachtas before the summer recess that is not now possible due to ongoing court proceedings. However, I will publish an updated General Scheme of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018 on my Department’s website”.
