Western Trust suspended its early medical abortion clinic in 2021 due to 'staffing resourcing issues'.
When services were suspended in 2021 in the Western Trust area - which includes Londonderry, Strabane, Limavady, Omagh and Enniskillen - the trust was initially advising women to contact the British Pregnancy Advisory Service if they were less than 10 weeks pregnant.
Since April of this year, women within the Western Trust were advised that the early medical abortion service was available to them in neighbouring health trusts. "Patients wishing to avail of information on available services are signposted via the trust website and will be referred to either the Northern Trust or the Southern Trust depending on their postcode," the Western trust spokeswoman said.
The Department of Health said the Western Trust was "currently finalising plans to recommence its EMA service in October 2022". The department said it continued to "engage with the Northern Ireland Office and with NI Health and Social Care Trusts to ensure operational readiness to provide commissioned abortion services".
