The HSE’s National Service Plan 2022 commits to commencing this year a review of the Maternity and Infant Care Scheme, which will include consideration of how to support women who choose home birth. As the review is an operational matter, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy as soon as possible with further details.
