Open Letter to the National Health Committee

Abstract:

To Maggie Barry, Chair, Committee to lead Review of Maternity Services, National Health Committee. Re: Review of Maternity Services When the Minister of Health Bill English announced a review of the "fraught maternity services" to inquire into the inadequacies of the current system he made reference to the "debate between general practitioners and midwives". It is therefore important that you and your Committee understand the historical and political background to both the "debate" and the resultant "inadequacies".
