WQ.334/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
BY DEPUTY T.A. COLES OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th OCTOBER 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th OCTOBER 2024
Question
"Will the Minister explain whether Health and Community Services staff, including maternity unit staff, treat women experiencing pregnancy-related issues in the early stages of pregnancy with ectopic pregnancy care; and if not, will the Minister detail what guidance staff follow to provide treatment?"
Answer
Yes, we have a dedicated Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (EPAU) service with a named Consultant Lead which includes ectopic pregnancy care, and the correct equipment to manage these patients. This team uses EPAU local guidelines that have been recently reviewed and updated with a multi-disciplinary team approach, and these are in line with the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) recommendations. If there is a specific condition the Deputy seeks information about, I would be happy to seek this information for him.
