Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion

Professor Mary Higgins:

I am allowed to finish, Deputy. We did not think these would happen. Twenty years ago, if someone had an accreta, she had a hysterectomy. Now we are doing uterine preservation surgery. There will be tests, procedures and diagnoses coming up in the future that we do not know about yet and having this "clinically appropriate" means what is clinically appropriate for the time so that we can continue to innovate for women. For me, it is very respectful for women to have that term.
