NI women face 'foetal scan discrimination' over not being offered early scans for foetal abnormalities.
In Scotland , Wales and England antenatal screening is offered to all pregnant women in first trimester.

RCOG has called for earlier scans, with some medics arguing women are being “discriminated against”.
