HSE will undertake a survey of hospitals next week to assess compliance with it's latest advice on maternity restrictions
Previously it asked that partners be allowed to attend anomaly scans, labour and to visit neo-natal units
However that was changed last week to expand the number of appointments that partners should be able to attend.
The HSE's Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry outlines which elements have been added:
"Mainly high risk pregnancies, attending antenatal clinics, early pregnancy assessment units, and people in later trimester attending emergency department situations or emergency obstetric unit situations so that advice went out last week, it's been sent through her colleagues to all hospitals, and we'll be serving those hospitals next week to assess complaints."
