Sally, How true your insightive comments are. After seeing the pheonix
rise in England, all be it slowly, and not without many hiccups, there
followed a belief that maticulous hard work of both consumers/
families/clients and midwives could acheive or change anything.
The senate enquiry, which I have to admit , I missed the genesis of
theis discussion, appears to be a perfect oppurtunity to initiate
change and to enlighten and inform.
Would it be a good idea for a composite submission of evidence. An
individual each being responsible for a facet of the submission? In
that way exhaustative research could be performed and all resources
could be pooled. Forgive me if someone has already suggested this.
