Government's abortion concession - Details

Here are the key points from the Greening letter. (See 2.13pm.)

The government will fund abortions for women from Northern Ireland in England, Justine Greening, the equalities minister (and education secretary) has told MPs.
NHS England will not face any extra costs as a result of the commitment, Greening says. Instead the money will come from the government equalities office, allowing it the department of health to “commission” abortion services in England for women from Northern Ireland. (It is not clear from this whether the NHS will provide those services too, or whether private clinics will carry out the abortions.)

So basically a U turn to prevent embarrassment for the DUP...
