Mayo and Letterkenny hospitals report strong maternity care feedback, with plans to improve risk communication in 2026.

Mayo University Hospital reports positive feedback from the 2025 National Maternity Experience Survey, with 43% of invited women responding, slightly above the national average. Many praised staff for supportive, clear communication, especially midwives and doctors, though 12% said they didn’t fully understand procedure risks and benefits. Hospital leaders say the results reflect team dedication and will inform a 2026 action plan to improve information clarity. Meanwhile, Letterkenny University Hospital saw a 46% response rate, with 81% of mothers rating neonatal care as good, though 17% reported unclear answers during labor. Both hospitals plan to use feedback to enhance patient communication and care.
