As this is a service matter, 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.

For the Deputy's information, the National Clinical Effectiveness Committee (NCEC) has endorsed and published a number of Clinical Guidelines for the health system, arising from the Galway Report, including an Early Warning System (EWS) (February 2013) Guideline for the deteriorating patient, Maternity Early Warning Score Guideline (2014) specifically for maternity patients and a Sepsis Guideline (2014). Monitoring of implementation of the Guidelines is a continuing process by the HSE.
