On 27 January 2016 Republic of Ireland’s Minister for Health, Leo Varadkar, launched Ireland’s first National Maternity Strategy – Creating a Better Future Together – which is a roadmap for the improvement of services over the next ten years.
- Strategy aims to improve safety & quality in general and standardise care across all units
- Recommends a Health & Wellbeing approach to give babies the best start and improve women’s health
- Ensure that a woman’s choice is facilitated to the greatest extent possible
- Improve staffing levels and facilities in maternity units and in the community
The Institute of Public Health prepared the consultation document on the development of the strategy. Read the documents here:
