Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said the Government will not be making any changes to the proposed deal on the new National Maternity Hospital which is expected to get Cabinet approval on Tuesday.
There had been repeated calls for the phrase “clinically appropriate” to be removed or amended as there are fears the term places power in the hands of clinicians to decide whether a woman can have a procedure or not, such as abortion.
Mr Martin confirmed on Monday that the phrase will not be removed.
