Consent in Labour: A NATIONAL Issue
AIMSI Statement on Sunday’s Daily Mail Article

An AIMSI letter to Minister Harney and the HSE, dated October 15, 2008, calling for a national independent review of consent related practices in Ireland was the focus of an article in the Daily Mail on Sunday, October 26, 2008. The article narrowly focused on specific comments and practices at the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin and more personally, Director of Midwifery, Mary Brosnan.

The Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services, Ireland (AIMSI) wish to reiterate that this campaign is not a local issue limited to one Director of Midwifery in one specific maternity unit in Ireland. The lack of (informed) consent sought from women in labour has very serious legal implications. AIMSI recognises that the large majority of midwives act as advocates to women in labour, however, feedback from women on consent continuously illustrate that consent related practices remain a sizable national issue. In an AIMSI national survey, 75.6% of respondents stated that they felt that consent is an issue of concern in the Irish maternity system.

AIMSI will continue to campaign for full informed consent for labouring women regarding all clinical maternity care procedures in Irish maternity units as highlighted in the letter to Minister Harney and HSE.
