Planned Home Births in Ireland Annual Report 2014
The Planned Home Births in Ireland Annual Report 2014 report, published by the Health Service Executive in collaboration with the National Perintal Epidemiology Centre, is to present an overview and national statistics on the home births service provided by SECMs in the Republic of Ireland for the year 2014. The report audits the home birth service by examining both the maternal and fetal outcomes of planned home births, including outcomes whereby the care of the woman is transferred for hospital care antenatally, during labour or postnatally.
