WE MUST HAVE SUPPORT FOR THE GREENS IN MELBOURNE ON
WEDNESDAY 13TH NOVEMBER AT 11AM.
Venue to be informed. Read
on......
The issue of PI insurance is very
complex. If the Labor govt is returned, it intends to change the
various Acts to make insurance
mandatory as a condition of registration.
If Labour loses, its quite likely that Liberal will
implement these changes anyway, as the health department is quite advanced in
preparing the new policies.
The Nurses Act, at the moment, states that Nurses
Boards "may" refuse to register anyone who does not have adequate
insurance.
The time is coming when midwives will be pressured
into submission, with the threat of unprofessional conduct and
deregistration.
THE GREENS HEALTH POLICY, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTING
NMAP, AND DEMANDING CHOICE FOR WOMEN, IS THE OPTION TO SHOW BOTH STATE AND
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT WOMEN ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT IS DONE TO THEM IN
BIRTHING.
