The National Maternity Hospital is being investigated by the HSE.
The situation occurred after a woman who had an abortion at the National Maternity Hospital claimed she was contacted by anti-abortion activists.
Allegedly, the woman in question got a phone call last week from a person who knew her name and was aware that she had accessed a legal abortion two days previous.“Patient confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us, and any suspected breach of confidentiality is always investigated as a matter of urgency in conjunction with other organisations who may have access to patient details.”
Minister for Health, Simon Harris, said that no woman accessing an abortion should be subjected to intimidation or harassment.“The Minister has asked the HSE to investigate the alleged breach of patient information. “The Minister has been quite clear, abortion services should be viewed as a normalised part of the health service and women accessing that service should not be subjected to intimidation or harassment.”By Melissa Carton‘This life is different’ – Saoirse Ruane’s mum shares positive updatePeople believe Gypsy Rose Blanchard never should’ve been sent to prison
