The case surrounding the termination came to light earlier this year.

Back in March a patient at Holles Street had a termination after two tests indicated her foetus had a fatal abnormality.
Results from a third test, which came back after the abortion had been carried out, showed there was no abnormality.
A complaint was made and Holles Street asked The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London to review the case, however after considering the request, the expert group says in this particular instance it is unable to carry out the review.
Instead, it has made alternative recommendations to the National Maternity Hospital.
A spokesperson says it's hoped the case can be reviewed independently and swiftly for the family and staff involved.
