719. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the HSE has authorised a temporary cessation of waterbirth effectively limiting the options and choices of mothers further given the current Covid-19 restrictions with regard to partners attending maternity visits; the reason an association (details supplied) as providers of the service were not included in discussions prior to the decision to cease the waterbirth service; if the service will resume as soon as possible; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
