Dear Sally Do you know how much control is put on the practice of the midwives on the Northern Suburrbs Program??
Ffor as Robyn T, Mary M and others have indicated one of the concerns is the restrictions on practice when salaried or even contracted! For NMAP and the midwives who support it an important thingaspect of NMAP - including a push for community management of a la CMWA. I feel that keeping future midwifery models out of the medical sector should be of concern for women and non homebirth midwives for in the past innovations in practice have come from the homebirth movement and trying to entice this sector into hospitals.
