Drop in UK abortions for Irish women
The number of Irish women seeking abortions in Britain has dropped.
Figures from the Department of Health in the UK show just under 6,500 women providing Irish addresses had terminations in England.
This represents a drop of 135 on the previous year.
But the Irish Family Planning Association says the Department of Health here should compile its own abortion statistics, with feedback from all EU countries to which Irish women can travel for abortion services.
