National Maternity Experience Survey 

National Maternity Experience Survey, 2020 

 

ABOUT THE STUDY 

The National Maternity Experience Survey invites women to share their experiences of Ireland’s maternity services. The survey is part of the National Care Experience Programme — a joint initiative by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA), the Health Service Executive (HSE) and the Department of Health. The survey reflected a commitment made in The National Maternity Strategy 2016-2026 to evaluate maternity care services from the perspectives of the women who use them.

The aim of the survey was to learn from the experiences of women to improve the safety and quality of the care that they and their babies received. HIQA, the HSE and the Department of Health committed to acting on the findings of the National Maternity Experience Survey to improve the quality of maternity care services in Ireland.
