i visited a really interesting program in Palmerston North in late 99- I
hope they are still going- they were awaiting further funding confirmation.
I have not managed to stay in touch. They had a wonderful house and assist
at both home and hospital births and the program is community run. A good
person to contact re the birth centre/homebirth scene in NZ is Rea
Daellenbach who teaches in the mid program at Christchurch Polytechnic. She
is a long time h/bth activist, and a social scientist not a midwife. We
have an article by her coming out in the forthcoming isue of our Maternity
Coalition journal, Birth Matters. I won't put her contact details without
her permission, but I have them.
