Lucinda Creighton
Question:248. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Health the data regarding the death of a child (details supplied) was not provided to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre in UCC; if he will confirm if data regarding the other babies deaths covered in the TV programme were equally not provided to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre in UCC; the reason the provision of data to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre in UCC is voluntary; his views on whether it should be mandatory; if he is concerned that the absence of data being provided to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre means that its research publications are providing an inaccurate picture of the standard of maternity care here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
