London Medical Experts Can Not Review Holles Street Abortion Case

An abortion case at the National Maternity Hospital can not be reviewed by a team of medical experts in London.

 

In March this year, a patient at Holles Street had a termination after two tests indicated her foetus had a fatal abnormality.

Results from a third test, which came back after the abortion, showed there was no abnormality.

Following a complaint, Holles Street asked The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London to review the case.

The expert group considered the request, but says in this particular case it's unable to carry out the review.

Instead, it's made alternative recommendations to the National Maternity Hospital.

A spokesperson says they hope the case can be reviewed independently and swiftly for the family and staff involved.
