Dr. Colm Henry:

With regard to the four areas, namely, visits to neonatal units, postnatal visits, attendance in labour wards and anomaly scans, we went around the 19 units on 21 June and all 19 are compliant in those four areas. As I was saying earlier, we are now expanding attendance based on increased confidence as to safety from the perspective of Covid-19 compared with confidence when these measures were introduced in January. The areas at which we are particularly looking are those other areas in which distress is caused, including early pregnancy assessment units, the routine visits of those with high-risk pregnancies and emergency presentations at later stages of gestation. We are planning to alter our visiting guidance this week to implement changes in these areas and to roll these out to all 19 units over the next week or two.
