Maternity Safety Statements
Maternity Safety Statements were introduced by the HSE in 2015 and are published monthly for each of the country’s 19 maternity hospitals and units. Each Hospital Group and Maternity Hospital publishes an updated statement each month.
Further information, including definitions of each metric used in the statements, is available on the HSE website.
About the data
The summary statistics presented reflect the most recent monthly activity at the National Maternity Hospital. These data are intended to provide reassurance regarding the quality and safety of services provided at the hospital.
The figures are not formatted to support comparison with other hospitals or aggregation with other datasets. As the National Maternity Hospital is a national tertiary referral centre with a complex clinical workload, comparisons with hospitals that have different patient numbers or service profiles are not appropriate.
