Ireland's first National Maternity Strategy - Creating a Better Future Together 2016 - 2026 was published in January 2016. It represents a significant development in the delivery of national maternity policy that will fundamentally change how maternity care is delivered.
The National Women & Infants Health Programme was established in the HSE to lead the management, organisation and delivery of maternity, gynaecology and neonatal services across primary, community and acute care. As implementation of the Strategy is being driven by the Programme, I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply to you directly with the specific information requested.
