Information on perinatal deaths is not routinely published by individual maternity unit at a national level. In addition, as the Deputy may be aware, there are issues regarding differences between reporting systems. These issues are currently the subject of review in the context of the report which I have asked the Chief Medical Officer to prepare in relation to Portlaoise Hospital. When this report has been finalised, I will give a full account of its findings and recommendations in this area.
