Dear all
I might be able to shed a bit of light on Justine's comments.
One of the obstacles we had in getting Ryde Midwifery Group Practice up
and running was an assurance to the Area health service that there
would always be someone (obstetric) capable of doing an emergency CS
if necessary
Dear list,
there is no excuse for the use of insensitive and offensive language
for example the use of the word 'bed blocking'. The production line
language is in common parlance unfortunately.. I recommend the
recent paper by Denis Walsh published in the journal Social Science
Medicine

NEVER get into tearing each other apartthe real issue is as
Mary says, the need to seriously reform the system. Women deserve to be

Dear Oz mids and Andrea
I agree wholeheartedly with you we have to have a better term..and
on the day in Newcastle I proposed we stop suggesting any one
practitioner is more important than another in this stuff and call the
units 'co-operative maternity units'!! Co-ops between women
Dear all
Jan has summed it up in a nutshell - both the discrepancies and the
reasons why many home births go unreported.. we did a 'run' with
the national data a couple of months ago - and we were suprised to
find an even geater difference than this one you report Jan. The most

I agree wholeheartedly Joy -
Vanessa was awesome this morning...SO difiicult to get some of the issues out
there, much less MOST of them as she managed to do..

The Senate inq. went exceedingly well in Sydney, from the midwives point
of view. The notion of horizontal violence would have been on the
