[ozmidwifery] existing midwifery services

[Marian Bullard]

Just like to stimulate some discussion regarding the recent press around smaller birthing services in Sydney and surrounds. Is there any support for women currently choosing these services for birth, or do we think these services are not worth hanging on to.  There seem to be an abundance of ideas for new models of care for midwifery services and I believe we need these plans for the future of birthing women but at the moment feel we are throwing out our old shoes before we have the money to buy the new. What do other midwives feel. Cheers Marian
