Five of the 19 maternity units in hospitals around the country are not fully compliant with the guidelines on allowing partners attend scans and births, according to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly.
In a series of tweets this morning, Mr Donnelly said he had received a report from the Health Service Executive, which found that five hospitals were not compliant.
He said these are St Luke s Hospital in Kilkenny, Wexford General Hospital, South Tipperary General Hospital, Waterford University Hospital and Letterkenny University Hospital in Donegal.
Partners have been unable to attend anomaly scans at St. Luke s Hospital in Kilkenny due to space constraints, which is due to be resolved by next week.
