I'll put it in the next Communique.
I also want to get hold of the front p;age of the Fremantle Herald that reads "McGinty fails midwives" I don't suppose any of the midwives over there scanned it into their computers? I will phone Laraine Hood this morning to find out if she has it.
Brian McKenna has just been over to WA to an insurance conference and then went on to UK to see what he could do via Lloyds. Am waiting for him to return with great apprehension.
He will never do business through the College again but we might have a chance through ASIM if we can get the numbers.
Keep up the good work you are doing in WA. I don't think I'll be seeing you at the HBA but you never know ... my next client due keeps telling me that she is "going early" and as she is coming out to Penrith with me tomorrow to shout and scream with Justine maybe that will get her into labour. Who knows.
Talk soon.
Jan
PS Don't worry if you don't have the Herald scanned. I will probably be able to request it via their email address.
Cheers

Scottish parliament approves bill to protect mothers' right to breastfeed in public
Members of the Scottish Parliament have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a bill which will make it a criminal offence to harrass or discriminate against a mother who feeds her baby in public.
The Breastfeeding, etc. (Scotland) Bill was passed yesterday by 80 votes to 15. It is now expected to become law by the end of the year.
UNICEF UK supports the bill and helped its sponsor, Labour MSP Elaine Smith, to launch it in Summer 2002.
The bill seeks to make it an offence for venues which usually admit children to prevent mothers from breast- or bottle feeding their babies.
UNICEF recently commended the pro-active approach by the Scottish Executive in promoting breastfeeding. This bill is a further example of the positive approach being taken in Scotland.
