77% of women who responded to a survey about maternity services at Antrim Area Hospital in the last two months say they “were very satisfied or satisfied with the care they received”.

The statistics were released as part of an interim report compiled following the decision to end all maternity services in Coleraine’s Causeway Hospital and move all hospital births in the Northern Trust to Antrim Area Hospital.

The interim review of the transformation of acute maternity services in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT) took place during the period from 17 July to 18 September 2023.

The new model came into effect on 17 July. In response to concerns from some elected representatives, campaign groups and service users, Northern Trust Chief Executive Jennifer Welsh offered to carry out an interim two-month review of the service change.
