A review into the care given to a Cork couple who had a pregnancy termination based on incorrect information has been confirmed by the HSE, with an eight-week turnaround time.

In 2019, Rebecca Price and Pat Kiely were advised to terminate a pregnancy because of a fatal fetal abnormality, known as Trisomy 18, which was detected in a blood test 12 weeks into the pregnancy.
