The Big Question: Why is there a crisis in maternity care, and should parents be worried? - Independent
Extract:
"The Royal College of Midwives says the shortage of staff and facilities on labour wards has reached "crisis" point. The Royal College of Obstetricians has warned of a lack of skilled obstetricians and a looming recruitment crisis as the number of UK medical graduates choosing obstetrics has halved in a decade. On Wednesday, MPs demanded urgent action to address the problem in a Commons debate. A BBC Panorama programme broadcast this week, filmed undercover in two hospitals in north London and Manchester, claimed wards were buckling under the midwife shortage."
