Name: Olivia Boyle on May 14, 2007Comments: ALL Midwives deserve recognition and support in the valuable work that they do. Under U.S. independent midwife Ina May Gaskin & her team 2028 homebirths took place between 1970-2000. 95.1% of clients gave birth at home, with a neonatal mortality rate of 8/2028, a maternal mortality rate of 0 and a caesarian section rate of 1.4%. If I were in the insurance game I'd rather hedge my bets on independent midwives than large hospital obstetric units.Flag

Name: Maria Robertson on May 14, 2007Comments: The women of Ireland deserve the right the choose where they should give birth. This right is not something that can just be taken away from them. The future of homebirthing should be something that is secued not put in jeopardy. Every woman deserves the right to choose.Flag

Name: Virginia Howes RN RM on May 14, 2007Comments: for goodness sake!! are we really wanting to make things even worse for women than they already are. Stop this stupid stupid persecution of midwives and women. Home birth should be supported on every front including insurrance issues. Governments should be moving hell and high to promote it not allow it to be shoved to the bottom of the pile.Flag

Name: Mim Hanan on May 14, 2007Comments: we need choice in childbirth in ireland and i am concerned that if indepenant midwives are gone the women who are afraid of the hospital's over management of labour, lack of individualism, lack of continuity of care and interference with nature will take extreme measures and plan their own undisturbed unassisted births.Flag

Name: Judy Chapman on May 14, 2007Comments: What a devastating blow for the women of Ireland. To have their choice on a chance of a normal physiological birth taken away at the stroke of a pen and for why There is no evidence to show that independant midwives have worse results than Drs. In face the opposite is the truth, more women will birth heathier babies at home than in hospital.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 14, 2007Comments: Midwifery is a very important and economically practical service for birthing and reproductive support. The savings in insurance costs ought to be enough to make midwifery a better option for insurance than medical obstetrics. Thank you.Flag

Name: Emma Walls on May 14, 2007Comments: This effectively removes my choice to deliver at home. The health board will not provide a midwife, or a grant. Like the majority of women in this country, I don't live within the catchment area for any hospital's domino or home birth scheme.Flag

Name: Elaine Batchelor on May 14, 2007Comments: Women need the chance to have a skilled and experienced midwife who can practice autonomously. It is essential that all midwives independent or state employed must have insurance both for the women they care for and themselves. Dont lose this valuable and importnat group of professionals.Flag

Name: Kara O'Loughlin on May 14, 2007Comments: I think the withdrawal of insurance cover for independant midwives is apalling in a time when women and midwives are working together to support birth choices in ireland, it is indicative of the INO'S complete lack of regard for their midwives and maternity choices in Ireland.Flag
