I thank the Minister for his reply and concur with him that our maternity services are very safe and on a par with the best internationally. In regard to the recommendation relating to ethnic minorities, I do not wish to be alarmist but in the context of the divergence in the statistics between the Irish and UK gold standard, will the Minister ensure greater monitoring in this area such that if there is a continuing divergence in these statistics remedial action will be taken? One of the recommendations is that there be proper interpretive services available in the medical arena to ensure people are aware of any underlying conditions in patients.
