View answerThere are a number of data sources available in relation to maternity care which the Deputy may find useful. These include:
1. The Irish Maternity Indicator System (IMIS) http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/hospitals/IMISnationalreport14.pdf;
2. The National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre (NPEC) https://www.ucc.ie/en/npec/publications/; and
3. The Maternity Patient Safety Statement (MPSS) http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/3/maternity/MPSS/MPSS.html.
In relation to the particular query raised, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
