Health agencies constrained by abortion legislation – draft report (RTÉ)

A HSE report – from the HSE that’s a state funded state body with a vested interest, as opposed to a report from an independent body of individuals who are not trying to cover stuff up.
This is just ghoulish. How can an inquiry team, which does not include a psychiatrist, possibly make a determination as to whether this woman was suicidal or not?
Well I for one am shocked that an official report into the latest in a long time of colossla cock-ups involving women’s health in Ireland is a whitewash. Just time time for the March for Choice on Saturday too.
“It is understood that the HSE inquiry team has not interviewed Ms Y. ”
Of course, why would you?!
And what did Ms Y think of all this?
Legislation is doing what it was designed to do – give the fig leaf of saying that the supreme court x case decision was complied with while putting obstacles in way of a distressed woman to placate FG.
March on Saturday folks. Repeal the 8th
I’ll be there!
So a psychiatrist feels she has “a strong death wish” but that there is “no evidence that Ms Y constituted a risk of suicide”. What an absolute joke, clearly the only way a person will be found to present a suicide risk is if they actually attempt suicide, by which time it may be too late.
Migrant Y did in fact attempt suicide, but was stopped, according to her own account of what happened.
