Dublin: Rotunda Hospital.http://hdl.handle.net/10147/560612005 marked the 261 st year of unbroken service for the Rotunda Hospital. 6,695 women delivered 6,804 babies greater than 500g. The overall perinatal mortality rate was 9.8 per 1,000 and when congenital abnormalities and unbooked patients are excluded. the corrected perinatal mortality rate was 5.4 per 1,000. The Rotunda remains very focused on maintaining these excellent results and I would like to congratulate everyone involved for their contribution. In order to match the high clinical standards of staff, the hospital has been keen to provide clinical facilities of the highest standard. The last few years has seen substantial progress on this front. The Ultrasound and Fetal Assessment Unit was significantly upgraded and exended during the year. Each scanning room is now air-conditioned and sound-proofed and provides appropriate confidentiality for our patients. The new centre for Colposcopy Services was completed and allowed the amalgamation of the colposcopy services from the Mater and Beaumont Hospitals to move onto a single site on the Rotunda campus. We were delighted to welcome An Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern to open both of these new facilities in April 2005. In addition a new Day Care Area was developed during the year to improve the patient experience.enPERINATAL MORTALITYHOSPITALCONGENITAL ANOMALYDAY CAREReport
