Health bosses have been accused of failing more than a third of a million people amid claims an abortion service has been stopped.
Amnesty International said a failure by the Health Minister to commission services and provide funding has forced the South Eastern Trust to cease the provision of vital abortion care.
The organisation has said women still have a legal entitlement to the early medical abortion service, but they will have to travel to other trust areas to access it.
Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty International Northern Ireland Director, said Robin Swann has created a postcode lottery for healthcare, forcing women to travel in the midst of a pandemic.
2020 wasn t all that bad, if you think about it. (PinkNews)
If you can bring yourself to look back at 2020, it’s hard not to write it all off as a screaming trashfire ejected straight from the bowels of hell.
It’s incredible to think that a year that began with an entire burning continent and an impending World War Three could possibly have got worse, but hey, here we are.
But even more incredibly, this annus horribilis wasn’t actually all bad, and some of the best silver linings came in the field of LGBT+ rights.
