Get them in, get them out, six to a room. Women cannot get any sleep because it is so noisy. The birthing facilities are those of a Third World country, not a First World country. We could go on. Given what women have been through in this country, it is very little to ask that we have proper birthing facilities, that women are not crammed in six to a room, that they can have consistency in the doctor they see, that they are respected and treated with dignity at all times, and that the consultants they see give them the best possible care. In order to do that, we need to fund the maternity strategy and increase capacity in our maternity hospitals.
