My Department has requested, and is awaiting, a full report from the National Women & Infants Health Programme regarding the Midwifery Led Unit in Cavan.  The Programme has advised that a review is underway within the RCSI Hospital Group, led by the Group Clinical Director for Maternity Services in conjunction with the Directors of Midwifery from Our Lady of Lourdes, Drogheda and the Rotunda Hospitals.  

Accordingly, I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply to the Deputy directly in relation to the details of that review.
