Bonuses for abortions

The front page of the Daily Mail led with the finding that the clinic 'paid its staff bonuses for encouraging women to go through with procedures.' The report states that: "staff were concerned that 'Did Not Proceed', the term used when women decided not to proceed with treatment, was measured as a KPI (key performance indicator) and linked to their performance bonus. They felt that this encouraged staff to ensure that patients underwent procedures."

They offered her counselling at 1 p.m. the same day. "When I asked them to cancel the appointment for the abortion as I only wanted counselling, they told me it was best to keep it in place because I didn't know what my decision would be and that I might not be able to get another in time as they were very busy & fully booked. I cancelled the whole thing, including counselling, as I felt I might end up being pressurised. They then rang me back, at work, about a week later to check I didn't need another appointment. They rang me at home too…
