A new patient safety move at Portiuncula University Hospital in Galway could necessitate higher risk pregnant women traveling further for care. Annually, approximately 200 to 300 women are affected by this initiative due to the complexity of their care needs. This decision arises from several reviews conducted at the hospital, and if successful, it may be adopted by other maternity units in different counties, shaping a broader impact on maternal health services.
