Dr. Colm Henry:

I will try to be concise. Yes, we absolutely want this service to be delivered in all our maternity hospitals, as is right. We are up to 11 hospitals now that are doing so, with Sligo hospital being the most recent one to come on board. For the remaining hospitals, we are working with the management and clinicians in each of them and linking some of the new consultant appointments to provision of this service. For example, in St. Luke's in Kilkenny, in Kerry, Cavan and in Portiuncula hospital, the full range of services will be provided once the new consultants are in post.
