Awaiting answers from Robin Swann over medics who will facilitate abortion

Given that it is law in Northern Ireland to abort, that is, murder, unborn babies, my question concerned the safety of patients, especially pregnant women, who have to go to see their GP.

I asked him to supply me with the names of those surgeries and GPs and other medical practitioners in Northern Ireland who were willing to conduct or facilitate the murder of unborn babies.

All I got was a civil service reply but no answers. He has often said that he was there to save lives. This is a matter of health and safety which he claims to support.

Then, another issue arose more recently when it transpired that a GP was arrested in Northern Ireland for alleged membership of, or alignment to, a terrorist organisation, I asked the minister when he was going to carry out security checks on doctors and other medical professionals, but again, no reply, let alone an answer.

This is also a safety (security) issue, relating to protecting lives.

People have a right to know if their GP surgery is a safe place to attend.

I ask Mr Swann again to provide this critically important information, and also to take steps to have all medical professionals security checked to assure their patients that it is safe for them to attend their chosen surgery.
