Re: [ozmidwifery] First "birth"

[Jenny Cameron]

Because the Obs do not work their rosters out properly. The obs who is 
running the clinic is also 'on' for all public work...C/S, birth suite etc. 
This is so in at least one public hosp. Probably the bean counters being 
miserable.

that, 'one person' they see, should be a Midwife.
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
