Tuesday 19 August 2014 16.09 RTÉ News has learned that the panel of three consultants in the case of a woman reportedly recently refused an abortion made a certification under Section 9 of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act that a termination of pregnancy should take place, by way of Caesarean section.
In this way the pregnancy was ended, and the doctors would take issue with reports or an interpretation that a termination of pregnancy was refused.
The doctors decided this course of action given that the woman asked for a termination of pregnancy under the new act and it was agreed that she was suicidal.
The woman, who says she was raped, consented to the C-section.
The panel involved two consultant psychiatrists and an obstetrician/gynaecologist.
The HSE has set up an internal review into the care provided to the young woman and the report is due to be completed by the end of September.
Meanwhile
Clinical guidelines for doctors on how to operate the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act have not yet been finalised, nearly eight months after the new laws came into force.
The Department of Health said today that the guidance document is expected to be ready for publication shortly.
It said the guidelines will not deal with the issue of a Caesarean section which is a clinical matter for health professionals.
A draft guidance document that is in the public domain is not the final version.
The Department said that the guidelines will provide high-level inter-professional guidance to direct the implementation of the act.
They will also identify referral pathways and deal with other operational matters.
