Aims The provision of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), a blood test screening for aneuploidy during pregnancy, varies widely internationally. In Ireland, NIPT is available privately, costing over €400. Gobal research on the patient perspective on NIPT shows a strong desire for the test to be provided for free. Attitudes towards NIPT amongst pregnant women in Ireland have not previously been studied. We assessed this in women attending maternity services in our unit. Methods This was a cross-sectional observational study involving a telephone survey. Women were asked about their prior knowledge of NIPT. Women with no prior knowledge were given information about NIPT and asked about their opinion of the test. Results One hundred and twelve (n=112) women participated. Of these, 60% (n=67) had not heard of NIPT, 86% (n=96) believe it should be freely available, and 80% (n=90) said they would avail of the test if it were free. Cost was the main prohibitive factor for those choosing not to have the test. All women wished to be more informed about NIPT. Conclusion Awareness of NIPT amongst women attending maternity services in Ireland may be low, but there is a desire for more information and a more equitable provision of the test.
