Specialist nurses in Maternal and Obstetric Health will assume follow-up care for low‑risk pregnant women registered in Local Health Units (ULS) experiencing shortages of family doctors.

Analytically, the move aims to maintain antenatal continuity and patient safety amid GP shortfalls by leveraging nursing scope of practice, but it raises implementation questions around training standards, referral pathways for complications, regulatory oversight and monitoring of outcomes.
