Better health services for women promised by Donnelly

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly at the official opening of the Regional Hub for Women's Health at Nenagh Hospital where he spoke with Clinical Specialist Physiotherapists, Michelle Maher, Charlene Hyland and Emma O'Kane.The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly has pledged to bury the ghosts of the Irish health system’s “dark past” treatment of Irish women, “particularly women’s reproductive health”.

Addressing Nenagh Hospital staff, Mr Donnelly said that while he would be “making the case for public funding for IVF, it’s really expensive, I can’t make any promises”. Despite the temporary suspension of the homebirth service, governed by the UL Hospitals Group, expectant mothers in the midwest seeking HSE governed home-births can still access services by registering with maternity hospitals outside of Limerick, however the University Maternity Hospital Limerick will continue to accommodate home birth patients in the event of emergencies.

Mr Donnelly said he has “directed the HSE to significantly increase the number of emergency medicine consultants” at UHL as the Limerick ED is currently struggling with “only eight ED consultants) and there should probably be about 16, so, they are not even close to the numbers they need”.
