Subject: [ozmidwifery] Change is a foot
in NSW!
Dear Midwifery Supporters
NMAP is next !
NMAP is more than a possibility!
That is Community Midwifery Programs all over the
country!!
If you are not aware the NSW Health Minister
has put a halt to the Greater Metropolitan Taskforce's rationalisation of
maternity hospitals in NSW and that is due to the backlash of
consumers!!!
Regardless or despite the support of
many doctors and health bureaucrats !!
So politicians and some doctors and bureaucrats
will listen and more importantly the politicians will act according to the
level of noise made!!
So every one if you have not
1) go see your state and federal politicians and
demand they fund Community Midwifery programs as proposed in NMAP (www.matenitycoalition.org.au)
2) Join Maternity Coalition
For sadly it seems politicians will not act
according to need or evidence without it being demand loudly !!
