it is a good time to think about how effective every person can be when united in a single purpose. The document Changing Childbirth in the UK was only effective because a whole lot of energy, consumer ( National Chidbirth Trust UK), midwives and others really pulled their 'fingers out' and submitted responses to the panel set up to make the inquiry. The important thing is to meticulously reference everything......back up all claims with the best evidence you can muster.......every bit of energy will help......it is daunting, and it is tiring, but it's worth it. Even if this inquiry ends up with a finding that there is an awful lot of unrest on the ground and no conclusions can be drawn....that's worth it.........it's just one of the chances we have to grasp.....don't forget the cardinal rule...reference ....everything
