This Government is absolutely clear that rights to peaceful protest should not cause patients or staff of healthcare clinics to feel intimidated or harassed due to the actions of protesters.
The Government will carefully consider the rights of all parties involved in this issue and will explore whether any further action is needed to ensure clinic staff and patients can go about their lawful business free from harassment, offence or alarm.
