Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Maternity Strategy: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Liam Woods:

We can get back to the committee with precise current data if that is helpful. As part of our overall strategy, we will have to look at the need to invest in this and all other areas of the service. I would expect that the plan will set out our journey from here with regard to the requirement to invest in equipment and personnel. Deputy O'Connell referred to the need to manage the implications of undertaking this work when she said that clinical and diagnostic supports will be required. I expect that the plan to be drawn up by Mr. McGrane and his colleague will seek to address that. We understand that it is a deficiency. It is something we will have to address in the plan.
