MyOptions website owner faces HSE legal action

By Fionn Kelly

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The owner of the website faces HSE legal proceedings over a misleading unplanned-pregnancy service, reported on 6 February 2019. The proceedings, initiated on 2 February, concern a website using the ‘My Options’ name and offering pregnancy-related information and ultrasound bookings.

The HSE said the website could confuse people searching for its official MyOptions service and advised women to use recognised or HSE-funded counselling agencies.

This report covers an earlier stage of the case. Later developments are not reported here.
