Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Healthcare Provision: Discussion

2:00 am

Garret Kelleher (Fine Gael)

I thank Professor Heenan for a very common-sense answer. I appreciate that. On Professor Matthews's comments on midwifery-led care as opposed to what we might be more used to, which is the consultant-led model, I have a few questions specifically on home birth, an area that would be primarily midwifery-led. Does Professor Matthews see scope for co-operation between the two jurisdictions in that area?
