Babies of Convenience? Presented by Eric Robson
Twenty years ago women had to fight to have their babies in hospital. Now, the pendulum has swung the other way -only two per cent of mothers have their babies at home. In many parts of the country the home midwifery service has been so run down that there is almost no alternative to hospital. Not surprisingly, a protest movement is gaining strength; not directly against hospital births, but for a woman's right to choose where she has her baby.
Brass Tacks looks at the major issues in the home versus hospital debate, and asks if informal maternity units, run by GPs, could provide the best of both worlds.
