There are 11 maternity units throughout the country, each of which employes three medical consultants, including an obstetrician and a gynaecologist. I have spoken to a medical practitioner who attended a conference recently at which it emerged that 20 medical consultants were employed at a unit in Denmark at which 3,000 babies were delivered each year. That is one consultant per 150 babies delivered.
