PLEASE Help Us and Sign This Petition!

Mon Mar 16 2009

With the government’s newly released Maternity Services Review, independently practicing midwives will no longer be able to practice past 2010 unless they have insurance. The problem is that no entity is offering insurance nor is the government assisting with this (unlike they did with obstetrics), which will see the end of these highly skilled women being able to legally practice. Please sign this petition to voice your support, so pregnant couples can have total choice for their care for childbirth. Its imperative that we have access to all options. It takes two seconds, all you need is your name (can be anon) and email address.
