WQ.335/2024

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 state whether Health Community Services staff, excluding Maternity Unit staff, have access to (and training on) the necessary equipment to assist women experiencing pregnancy-related medical issues; and if not, will the Minister state when this equipment and training will be made available?"

Answer

Prenatal care is provided by General Practitioners in the community and by HCS clinicians in the maternity unit in the General Hospital. Depending on the personal circumstances, medical complications can be very different and require different interventions from a wide variety of clinical specialists. If there is a specific condition the Deputy seeks information about, I would be happy to seek this information for him.
