An external review into homebirth services in Limerick, Clare and Tipperary has concluded after three years with the HSE MidWest defending the length of time it took.

However, the homebirth services in these counties remain suspended until reforms are put in place based on the review. The suspensions followed the tragic death of Limerick woman Laura Liston in June 2022, after the homebirth of her first child.
