Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 June 2020
425. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Health if a review is being carried out in relation to the midwife-led unit in Cavan General Hospital; if so, the terms of reference for the review; the time frame for its completion; and the details of the persons undertaking the review. [12932/20]
View answerMy Department has requested, and is awaiting, a full report from the National Women & Infants Health Programme regarding the Midwifery Led Unit in Cavan. The Programme has advised that a review is underway within the RCSI Hospital Group, led by the Group Clinical Director for Maternity Services in conjunction with the Directors of Midwifery from Our Lady of Lourdes, Drogheda and the Rotunda Hospitals.
Accordingly, I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply to the Deputy directly in relation to the details of that review.
