Consistent Care Needed In NZ Maternity System
Consistent Care Needed In NZ Maternity System
The
New Zealand College of Midwives says the proposed changes to
the Section
88 Notice for Primary Maternity Services
shows that the continuity of care
model remains an
important key to the success of the New Zealand
maternity
system.
NZCOM spokeswoman, Norma Campbell,
says the College is pleased the
Government is pledging to
continue supporting a quality maternity service
for mums
and babies.
"New Zealand has one of the best maternity
systems in the world. In fact
NZCOM CEO Karen Guilliland
is about to return from Europe where she was
invited to
speak to Irish Midwives about how New Zealand provides such
an
enviable service to mothers, babies and families," she
says.
NZCOM supports the Ministry of Health's consultation
process and will now
meet and talk with College members
from around the country over the next
twelve weeks to
discuss the proposed changes to the Section 88 Notice
for
Primary Maternity Services.
Norma Campbell says it
would not be appropriate to comment any further at
this
stage until College members have thoroughly reviewed the
document.
