Why is it that women have to wait so long at public clinics? All the women I ask to attend a pub clinic for "homebirth backup" booking tell me the same. sometimes it is a factor in them not going for the visit and refusing to return at a later date. The Obs has his receptionist and ? one other? why do we have so much support staff in hospital clinics and yet it can take all morning waiting for an "appointment" . It makes women feel as tho they are 2nd class citizens. Is there an efficiency expert out there that could fix this? MM -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
