Abstract
Description
In 2016, a robust policy and strategic framework for the development and delivery of maternity services was established in Ireland with the launch of the National Maternity Strategy – Creating a Better Future Together, 2016-2026 in January 2016, the National Standards for Bereavement Care Following Pregnancy Loss and Perinatal Death in August of that year, followed by the Health Information and Quality Authority’s Safer Better Health Standards for Maternity Services in December 2016.
In order to ensure a co-ordinated and focused approach to the work required to ensure that these policies were implemented and overseen at national level in a structured and programmatic manner, the HSE, with the support of the Department of Health, created the National Women and Infants Health Programme. In driving these policies, the Programme is responsible for the enhancement of maternity services, benign gynaecology services and neonatal care. This work entails working closely and collaboratively with colleagues across operations and strategic planning in both acute and community care settings.
