Antenatal Down Syndrome testing

Chris Miller made this Official Information request to Capital and Coast District Health Board

The request was successful.

From: Chris Miller

Dear Capital and Coast District Health Board,

I have a two-part question. Firstly, do you offer testing to determine whether a foetus is at risk of Down Syndrome? Secondly, if so, what advice, information or counselling do you offer parents on a positive result?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Miller
