The HSE advise that, while the Saolta Hospital Group have renewed the contract for one year, there is an option to renew it for a further 12 months if the service runs efficiently over the course of this year.

Saolta Hospital Group have also provided details on the number of women who have availed of the service between November 2016 and March 2018, and the cost involved.
