The hospital board reversed their decision today and confirmed that full maternity services will remain at Solihull. We stopped them from cutting our care because thousands of people refused to stay quiet. Keep a close eye on the local health board meetings this winter to ensure they follow through on …
It was recently announced that as from April 2010, only 1 out of 4 mums who currently are able to have their babies at Solihull Hospital will continue to be allowed to do so. The other 3 out of 4 mums will have to go to Heartlands or Sutton Coldfield Hospitals - this will include all c-sections and deliveries needing forceps. Only mums with extremely normal pregnancies will be able to have babies in Solihull, at a midwife-led unit.
Campaigners want the best possible services for Solihull residents and are calling for full Consultant cover for mums and babies at Solihull Hospital.
Mums should have full choice of how and where they give birth. The new proposals are reducing choice, not increasing it.
Campaigners are concerned about the capacity at Heartlands and Sutton Coldfield Hospitals - there are many reports that these units are often at full capacity.

My wife is due in a few months and this is so stressful. Leave our hospital alone.

It makes no sense to cut these services. We need full cover at Solihull not just a midwife unit. Fix it.

Heartlands is already packed as it is. How are they going to cope with everyone from Solihull too? Just keep it open.

This is ridiculous. Solihull needs this unit. Thinking of all the mums who have to travel further now for no good reason.

Travel time is the last thing a woman in labour needs. Keep services local for the people that actually live here.
