| 854 | Declan Devane | If we are serious about developing a comprehensive, responsive maternity care system then indemnification of independent midwives within the Clinical Indemnity Scheme is a must. |
| 855 | Robyn Hickey | I would love a home birth and this would not be possible if Ind.midwives cannot get insurance cover. Ireland is seriously lacking in birthing options and some people have to travel over 1.5 - 2 hrs to get to their nearest hospital. |
| 856 | Siobhan O'Reilly | This is scandalous. Independent midwives offer choice for women. Giving birth in overcrowded medically led conditions is not everyones choice. Independent midwives are a fantastic option |

| 858 | Sarah McCann | I think women should have a range of choices about how they want to labour and birth their babies and homebirth should be amongst the choices offered to every woman. |

| 860 | Rachel Wilde (nee Griffin) | I just had a very safe and happy birth experience at home. It is totally unfair to take away a woman's right to give birth where she feels safe, secure and confident - my midwife was professional, warm, caring, attentive and provided me with the best care I could have ever hoped for. |
| 861 | gianna Tomasso | This is just shocking, i had a homebirth last year, saving the hse thousands, i want another homebirth in august, how dare i be forced into a overcrowded understaffed institution and cost the tax payers so much more. It is my right to have my baby at home, and ill be doing everything i can to make sure that happens... |

| 865 | Katell Buchaud | I petition to the INO to immediately reinstate malpractice insurance cover for Independent Midwives in Ireland. |

| 867 | Anonymous | I fully support the Independent midwives campaign for professional insurance. They provide a valuable service and allow women choice, dignity and respect in chiildbirth. |

| 870 | Anonymous | This is a shame, the HSE should hang their heads in shame yeat again. How can every other european country have midwives deliver babies in the mothers home....but not in Ireland.
Who would want to deliver a baby in a hospital now days, go in to have baby come out with mrsa |
| 871 | Irene Mulryan | I want the choice to birth with an Independent Midwife. |

| 874 | Jennifer Dennehy | I am due to have my second homebirth in August 08. It is a disgrace that a service which is so valued, respected and cost effective should be jeopardised. |
| 875 | Dawn Staudt | Homebirth is a crucial option for women in this day and age of the over use of interventions in normal birth. Independent midwives have offered an essential service, that research shows is as safe or safer than hospital birth. They are just as entitled to malpractice insurance as any other midwife. |

| 877 | Jeannine Webster | I really feel strongly about this petition, as independant midwifes form a valuable part of the Midwifery service as a whole. |

| 879 | Mary Higgins | Irish women have limited choices for maternity care. It is important that independent midwifery continues |
| 880 | miriam hanan | it would be a huge blow to birth choice in ireland if this is not sorted out and independent midwives given back their insurance. i would be afraid the incedence of unassisted homebirths would rise if hospital was the only choice! |

| 894 | Titiane Guillou | Please allow women to have the choice of a homebirth. We need our midwives. Maternities are over crowded and under staffed. Homebirth are cost effective, give us the choice, don't force us to go to maternities, let us have our babies at home if that's our choice. |

| 897 | caragh thompson | this is an outrage that independent midwives will no longer be able to practise. Not only are they highly skilled, but they could be put to far greater use, by having a lot of the check ups done in clients houses and taking the pressure off the health care system. |
