Hi all, Not a lot on this line recently re the PI insurance fallout. According to a local north coast newspaper, ACMI states that 85% of all independent midwives have ceased to work as of 31st May with the failure of anyone to secure PI insurance.
Which states have attached PI insurance to registration, and which states have in any way picked up the PI insurance for practising midwives?? I'm amazed this debate has subsided as it seems inextricably linked to the wellbeing of the homebirth movement as a whole and to women's individual rights and choice. Comments please!!
