Zoe Williams: Off message on maternity - The Guardian 27th February 2008

Thursday, February 28, 2008

You just can't blame the NHS midwife shortage on mothers being too fat, too old or too feckless. I agree that there should be sufficient midwives to meet the obstetric needs of the women in this country, and I agree that those midwives should be paid in line with their extremely high level of skill within the nursing profession. On almost every other matter relating to childbirth, I find myself opposed to the prevailing maternity trend in this country.
