| Description: | During 1998 the Rotunda delivered 6,283 mothers of 6,387 babies. There were
52 perinatal deaths giving an uncorrected perinatal mortality rate of 8.1. The
number of mothers delivered represents an increase of 2% on the number of
mothers delivered last year. This increase is slightly smaller than predicted as
at one stage in the year the increase over 1997 was running at 6%. It is now
expected that the number of babies delivered in the Dublin area will gradually
increase over the next 5 to 7 years; presumably these figures will be very much
influenced by the economic climate of the time.
At the end of 1998 the hospital received the long awaited permission to
improve our paediatric facilities. Essentially we will be amalgamating our
Paediatric Unit with our Nenatatal Intensive Care Unit and improving both
substantially at the same time. It is hoped to go to tender for these works in
late 1999 and building work to commence in early 2000. These works should
improve the care offered to sick babies in the Hospital and will at last reflect
the skill and dedication of the paediatric staff, both medical and nursing. Also
late in 1999 we hope to continue a significant redevelopment of the third
floor postnatal facilities which will upgrade sufficiently the level of
accommodation and privacy which postnatal patients now need. |
