Booming birth rates if not economy!

The Health minister Ann Keen has made an appeal for there to be up 1,000 more midwives in London alone to cope with the dramatic increases in the birth rate that the capital has been experiencing.

There are now a number of incentive schemes in place to both encourage retired midwives to return to work and also for new members to be welcomed into the profession. Concerns over the impact of staffing shortages on the quality of maternity care have been raised for some time but the current increase in the birth rate has exacerbated the issue, critics claim.
