The TV show Sunrise on Seven is having all of the state health ministers on the show next week and want to ask the consumers questions. I thought it would be very powerful if they got hundreds of emails from families asking about why we don't have access to 1 on 1 care by a known midwife? Why we are using the more expensive model of care by using Ob's? When will Australia start giving women the choices that they want & need in their care? NZ has a great model, why are only NSW going over to check it out? The more of us who hope on & ask our questions the better response we can hope for. The maternity Coalition here in QLD is getting the word out nationally. Please if you can have your say & help make an impact. Heres the link. http://www.seven.com.au/sunrise/healthforum Thanks again, Philippa Scott Birth Buddies The Maternity Coalition Inc. is an Australian umbrella organisation for midwives, mothers and other individuals interested in birth writes..rites and rights. http://www.maternitycoalition.org.au -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
