Dr. Deirdre Duffy:

New Zealand has a community-based care model where they use task sharing, as do Colombia and Argentina, and I believe in India they have also progressed. These are using in-the-community care which would be midwives and, in India, would include pharmacists. There are models of care which have been reviewed and which are supported by the health service as part of shared care pathways. It would seem from the data that was produced as part of this study that it would be the logical next step to move from a consultant-led service towards a broader range of health professionals.
