Abstract:
This review was commissioned by the National Disability
Authority (NDA), in a joint
initiative with the National Women?s Council of Irelan
d (NWCI), to provide
comprehensive information on social policies, relating t
o disability and childbirth, both
in Ireland and internationally. The review is one of
3 documents meeting the
objectives of a nation-wide study commissioned by the ND
A. It is recommended that
readers also consult the other 2 reports, a comprehensive
literature review of Irish
and international literature on the challenges facing
women with physical, sensory,
mental health or intellectual disabilities in accessing h
ealth services during
pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood (Begley e
t al, 2009) and a presentation
of findings of a nation-wide study exploring the stren
gths and weaknesses of publicly-
funded Irish health services provided to women with disa
bilities in relation to
pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood (Begley e
t al, 2010).
