Is it not part of the problem that you are not committing to a timeframe? I keep asking at what stage in the future we will be able to say to a pregnant woman that she will definitely have access to this. The answer is always "perhaps in a while" or "maybe in a bit" and "we are definitely committed to possibly doing something". I appreciate that Mr. McGrane has a tough job but if he does not set targets there will be a problem. If I was a trainee midwife, why would I want to come and work in an area where no targets were being set and I could not see any improvement coming down the line?
