Woman claims to have got an abusive abortion call.

After a woman received an abusive abortion call people are being reminded to make sure they are dealing with the legitimate HSE helpline.

The woman had an abortion in Holles Street in Dublin and claims to have received a call from a mobile number connected to a bogus counselling service.

The woman said a man on the other end of the line knew her name and address, and became verbally abusive when she asked where he was calling from.

The Health Minister says he is concerned by the claims, and has asked the HSE to investigate the alleged breach of patient information.

After having a termination and being sent home, the woman says she received a call from a mobile number connected to a counseling service the HSE has previously warned is bogus.

The HSE is reminding people looking for advice on unplanned pregnancies to make sure they're dealing with the official My Options service.
