[ozmidwifery] JLY1 outcry!

[Denise Hynd]

Dear All The WA branch President of AMA was on the radio and TV (ABC) today trying to get the govt to contribute to the increase in PI of priv Obs saying the women will have to pay and are already paying between $100 to $500 per pregnancy and will get higher!! Otherwise we wil not have enough doctors to deliver babies!! Mins of Health says the govt has covered the Obs in Public health and the country!   Is this happening in all states?     How do we get the media to acknowledge the savings of contracting private midwives for the government , health funds and community??
