Dr. Cl?ona Murphy:

Individual consultants can do so. Some have gone through their own files. Some of the difficulty can arise when people have retired. Information is spread across maternity units with gynaecology services, but there are also some stand-alone gynaecology units within HSE hospitals and private centres. The data covers a large number of units and some have better data collection systems than others. I accept it would be great to get more granular data in order to know the exact numbers and have a better denominator as to how many people had good as well as poor outcomes.
