The position in relation to the major maternity hospitals is as follows:
Rotunda Hospital — The hospital has recently opened a new delivery suite which includes nine individual birthing rooms, finished to a very high standard.
Coombe Hospital — a new delivery suite was completed at the hospital consisting of five individual birthing suites complete with en suite facilities. There are wards in the existing delivery suite where patients are nursed side by side during the first stage of labour. However, patients are then moved to a delivery room to ensue that there is privacy for the second and third stages of labour.
Holles Street Hospital — a new delivery suite has recently opened at the hospital consisting of 12 single rooms with en suite facilities, to facilitate privacy during labour.
