Caesarean Section Guidelines (EDM1095)

Caesarean Section Guidelines

EDM number 1095 in 2003-04, proposed by Iris Robinson on 29/04/2004.

That this House welcomes the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommendation that women should be discouraged from choosing to have a Caesarean section; notes that such operations represent major abdominal surgery; believes that further efforts must be undertaken to inform the public fully of their potential complications and that decisions regarding caesarean sections should be based on clinical grounds; recognizes that the Caesarean rate in Northern Ireland of 26.2 per cent. is much higher than other parts of the United Kingdom; and calls for this NICE recommendation to be implemented in the province.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
