Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Maternity Strategy: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Mary Gorman:

In respect of the 20-week scan, there are huge problems outside Dublin in recruiting staff to carry out the scans. They can be recruited within Dublin but it is very difficult outside Dublin to recruit staff to carry out those scans. Nobody is interested in going outside Dublin. I am talking about midwives and sonographers. They are not interested.
