External Review of National Maternity Strategy Implementation

The Department of Health seeks qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive external review of the National Maternity Strategy 2016-2026 ('Creating a Better Future Together'). The review will evaluate progress against the 2021 Revised Implementation Plan, identify areas where delivery targets have or have not been met, and analyze contributing factors to performance gaps. Successful tenderers will conduct international literature reviews to benchmark Ireland's maternity model, outcomes, and service delivery against comparable countries, and identify best practices from high-performing maternity care systems globally. The review will culminate in evidence-based recommendations to guide future policy development in Irish maternity services. This is an ideal opportunity for organizations with expertise in healthcare strategy evaluation, international health systems analysis, and maternity service provision.
