If adopted, shake-up of 1967 Abortion Act would scrap the rule that two doctors must approve a termination
Nurses and midwives should be able to approve abortions, MPs have been told, in what would be one of the biggest shake-ups of regulations in more than 55 years.
If adopted, the “two-doctor rule”, which stipulates that abortions have to be authorised by two GPs, would be scrapped.
