NCT’s campaign for more midwives has secured a major breakthrough as health minister, Dr Dan Poulter vowed to ensure more qualified midwives are in work over the coming years.
Speaking at the Royal College of Midwives’ annual conference in Brighton on 13 November, Dr Poulter told the assembly, “…and we do need to make sure we have more midwives in the service, who want to deliver high-quality care, personalised 1 to 1 care, and make sure we look after the workforce that we [already] have properly. We must have more midwives working.”
