Text
I thank the Minister. There can be no more important duty on any health service than ensuring the safe delivery of babies and protecting their mothers' lives in giving birth. An "emerging" challenge this is not, with issues first arising in October 2024. Does the Minister realise that he and his Department have a duty to use every resource at their disposal to ensure that the rota of paediatricians at Daisy HiIl's maternity unit is reinforced to protect the lives of mothers and babies in Newry, south Armagh and south Down?
