You can book into the public RPA birth centre as a private patient, but there 
aren't many OBs who work there (the birth centre that is, not the RPA). You 
can't book in as a private patient with a private midwife as they don't have 
admitting rights with the current insurance problems so if you have a private 
midwife going with you it would be as a public patient and one of the RPA's 
midwives would be present as well.
