A multidisciplinary Steering Group has been established by the HSE National Women & Infants Health Programme to oversee the implementation of the new Model of Care. One of the areas of work identified by the Steering Group is the development of key performance indicators for maternity services. Accordingly, I have asked the HSE to reply to your query directly.
