Thank you to all who have supported our team crisis at john Hunter. We have sadly learned that the effect is spreading, with other organisations now arguing that team midwifery is "too expensive" and one area has put plans on "hold" using John Hunter as an example.. Please let me reassure you that the John Hunter Team has not been targeted due to its inability to work effectively or efficiently. It was simply that the wages & salary of the team fitted almost exactly with the size of the budget shortfall - a convenience sample, so to speak. AT NO TIME HAS MANAGEMENT EVEN HINTED THAT THIS WAS NOT AN EXCELLENT MODEL OF CARE. Mrs Saxton, Nursing Director of O&G @ JHH is adamant that the team will be back ASAP, and that we will have MORE teams. Even the Area CEO has publically affirmed that the TEAM will return. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JOHN HUNTER TEAM, OR TEAMS IN GENERAL, THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE MYOPTIC BEAN COUNTERS ! regards Rosalee Shaw CNC Midwifery John Hunter -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
