Service providers, civil society organisations, and academics are calling for “urgent” action from Taoiseach Simon Harris on the implementation of recommended changes to abortion care.

In an open letter to Mr Harris, the group warns that patients are being denied timely reproductive healthcare and, in many cases, are being forced to travel abroad.
