I am appalled that this can be allowed to happen especially when the provision of choice seems to be the current mantra. The cost of having PII for an independednt midwife will, in many cases, exceed her/his annual salary -IF she/he can find an insurer to cover her/him! As someone who plans to start training to be a midwife next Spring, I am quite sad that a woman's right to choose is bing limited in this way. Please keep me posted on any developments and I will be keeping an eye on the press too.(student midwife to be)
