The HSE will take no position in the forthcoming referendum on abortion and will remain neutral, its director general has said.
Tony O’Brien told the Oireachtas health committee that a member of staff who used official notepaper to send correspondence to Oireachtas members urging opposition to repeal of the Eighth Amendment had been met with and taken through the appropriate procedures.
