No, the Birth Centre is still functioning but that is due only to the fantastic support of the women who use the centre. The Friends of the Birth Centre group have fended off more than one try at closing the service. Mackay Women's Health Unit did try to enlist the support of the women and there was a group formed but I am not sure just where they are at at the moment. The midwives have now fourmed a committee and are trying to explore just where to go from here. I am afraid study pressures have stopped me being totally on top of the situation. Cheers Judy
