QUESTIONS MATERNITY CHANGES
Eastbourne
MP Nigel Waterson has questioned proposals to
downgrade maternity in the light of a report
of the Healthcare Commission which shows that
local mothers are very happy with the existing
arrangements.
Today’s
report of a national maternity patient survey
states that 90% of pregnant women using the
DGH or the Conquest rate the level of care as
“excellent”, “very good”
or “good” during pregnancy and 88%
during labour and birth.
Nigel
commented: “These findings are a great
tribute to the quality of existing maternity
services in our area. Clearly local mums are
very happy with the care they are getting. It
makes you wonder why NHS bosses are so intent
on changing things. There is an old saying:
‘If it ain’t broke, why fix it?’”
