The Review of Maternity & Gynaecology Services in the Greater Dublin Area, which was conducted for the Health Service Executive by KPMG Consultants, sets out recommendations and provides a high level action plan to facilitate the delivery of the best model of care for primary, community and hospital maternity services in the future. The objective is to ensure the provision of safe, sustainable, cost effective and high quality maternity, neonatology and gynaecology care services. The HSE has begun the process of developing an implementation plan to deal with the key recommendations in the report. My Department has asked the HSE to provide a more detailed response directly to the Deputy in relation to the plans and timeframe involved.
