The National Clinical Programme for Obstetrics and Gynaecology was established in 2010. One of the programme's key objectives is to develop and disseminate national guidelines. Such guidelines provide standardised guidance for all maternity units in the country on a range of clinical issues relating to women's health.

As the query raised relates to a service issue, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.
