Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I certainly do not think it is a resource issue. Attracting to and retaining skill sets in smaller maternity units is an increasing challenge. We have 19 maternity units in Ireland, so that is part of it. We had a review carried out of all the individual recent cases, some of them very harrowing in their outcomes. Fundamentally, we have moved higher risk pregnancies from being booked at Portiuncula to being booked in other units. That is about 20% of the workload of deliveries in Portiuncula. That has to be the case in the face of the evidence until such time as we are satisfied that something has been identified that could change.
