Question:

173. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Health his plans for the way in which he and the HSE plan to provide for the additional perinatal mental health needs of the many women and families left traumatised by the current policy of some Irish hospitals, including Letterkenny University Hospital, County Donegal of not allowing women a partner of their choice to be physically present with them to support them throughout major milestone scans, labour and birth, including those women and families that have had to go through the unmitigated tragedy of pregnancy or baby loss alone, scared and devastated.

As this relates to a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
