Hello Justine,
I'll just say part of the same area health as you!
When I've got more energy I'll email you and get some more info on MC.
I think there were some local women who joined up, but they wanted more postnatal care family care cottage stuff, didn't care about 1-2-1 midwifery care.
The clinical midwifery consultant said when I spoke to her, it had to come from the women wanting midwifery care, basically not to bother trying.
Most think it's great going to a doc, and not having to pay big prices like their city sisters. But they pay more than an antenatal clinic! Noone bulk bills in town, even though we're a low socio economic area.
Sometimes I wish (work wise) I was still in the city - with antenatal clinics, midwifery run units, mid consultants, outpatient units etc etc
How do you all stay sane ?
