Dear All It is the questioning which is important and which has made my day. Sadly I do not really believe the doctors and their associations will let this stand but will have to account for the C/s rate that is what has made my day!
If AXA did hold to it the other companies will fill the gap initially and as it is in the private system in other general medical conditions the women who need C/s can be transferred and have their C/S in the Public hospitals which are generally down the road! How many country or non metro areas have a private hospital with out a public hospital! Meanwhile the debate has been driven by the reality of the exorbitant costs, the unfetter use of C/S and its cascade of costs (social and financial) will be brought out by stronger voices than the women and midwives who see the suffering! So I am not seeing this as denying women who need a Caesar from decision to incision can be about 45mins in a tertiary maternity unit that is enough time for transfer from a private hospital if this move was to be held and taken on by al l insurers. Perhaps in this debate the safety and cost effectiveness of midwifery care will get an airing, so I see all sorts of angles to this news Denise Hynd ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise Hynd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 9:53 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] AXA insurance drops cover for caesars > Dear Andrea > Your news hasmade my day Now we need to get rid of FTP as amedical > indication!! > This turn in costings can also be used in pushing the > Denise Hynd > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Andrea Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2002 5:10 AM > Subject: [ozmidwifery] AXA insurance drops cover for caesars > > > > Hi Listers, > > > > I have just heard a very exciting report on the BBC news tonight.
