Simon Harris wants terminations to be available to women from next month LEAH FARRELL/ROLLINGNEWSThe World Health Organisation is to teach Irish doctors and examine their beliefs about abortion. The initiative, to help prepare them for providing legal terminations from next month, comes as the Department of Health asked the HSE to make sure abortion services would be available in all 19 maternity hospitals from January. Simon Harris has appealed to Fianna Fáil to make time available this week to get a bill legalising terminations through the Dáil. The health minister promised to have legal abortion services available in Ireland for the first time from January after the public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment. The government wants to get its bill passed this week so it can make its way through the Seanad before the Oireachtas Christmas break.
