An update regarding pressures on our maternity services
Our Health Board continues to face extreme pressures across services which includes maternity. At times we have had to initiate a temporary closure of our Midwifery Led Unit and home birth services to ensure we continue to provide high-quality, safe and effective care. We apologise that temporary closures of this nature are likely to persist as we navigate ongoing pressures through this wave of COVID-19. Our ability to safely maintain these services for women, birthing people and their families remains under constant review.
