Doctors lobby for optimal abortion service

A group of up to 80 doctors drawn from general practice, obstetrics, and gynaecology and psychiatry has banded together in Munster to lobby for optimal abortion care for women.

The Southern Taskgroup on Abortion and Reproductive Rights, known as Start, which has its genesis in the Together for Yes campaign, has already met with Health Minister Simon Harris to discuss its position paper. The group will feature among a number of stakeholders set to meet the minister again next Tuesday.
