Many constituents have written to me concerned at the recent Government change to allow for Home Abortions during the outbreak.
I have received a lot of correspondence from both sides of this debate, but I am supportive of this temporary Government move.
Women seeking abortions should not have to unnecessarily take the risk of leaving their home to go to a clinic or hospital if they don’t want to. Clinicians are concerned that people do not visit clinical environments unless absolutely necessary. This is also why clinicians have also altered cancer treatments for the foreseeable future.
This measure will be on a temporary basis and must follow a telephone or e-consultation with a doctor.
I really appreciate the sensitivity of this issue but given the unprecedented times that we find ourselves in we must do everything we can in order to best protect the public at large.
Please keep following the latest Government advice on Coronavirus:
