Use of water birth suites

Posted By SuttonColdfieldCouple

"Use of water birth suites"

About: Good Hope Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

Now we know why there were only 119 water births during 2013 despite the hospital having 2 water birth suites. There are hardly ever enough midwives to staff the water birth suites. This equates to each water birth suite being used 1 in every 6 days - what a complete waste of money if the facilities can't be staffed properly by an incompetent trust.
