The majority of doctors believed that abortion should be legalised and a service provided. There was no consensus on how this should be achieved. Fifty percent of family planning doctors supported importing the British Abortion Law, but the majority of hospital doctors favoured a new law specific to Northern Ireland. Over 90&#037; were in favour of providing medical abortions in certain circumstances. There was no agreement on who should be responsible for the service.",
