Calvary confirms reproductive service cuts at some new hospitals
Newcastle Private doctors told practitioners performing banned procedures face disciplinary action; obstetrician calls removal of choice ‘outrageous’
Calvary Health Care has confirmed it will cut services including IVF, voluntary assisted dying, elective terminations, gender reassignment surgeries and some contraceptive procedures at hospitals among the 16 it is taking over after Healthscope’s financial collapse. The Catholic health organisation will enforce its ethical code at the acquired hospitals, with changes at Newcastle Private Hospital due to take effect from December 1.
