Bloody bbc and its labour bias has already replaced this as its top story.....deciding instead to run with a story about some australian bloke tampering with a cricket ball...in a aus v sa cricket match ffs.

It is GREAT news and at least a start. Let's hope other positive initiatives will follow.

Well spotted Parmy, but this does not surprise me.

If they're underpaid and under-resourced, they'll leave anyway. I want to be optimistic but this government doesn't have a good track record whatsoever, and given the cuts to the NHS, this will hardly make up for the damage the tories have already caused.

Good news

The Government said research shows that women who use the model are 19% less likely to miscarry, 16% less likely to lose their baby and 24% less likely to have premature birth.
Isn't miscarrying and losing their baby the same thing? :suspect:

Not really understanding how having the same caregiver can reduce the chances of miscarriage or premature birth either. But I guess if it does, great.

No we'll be out of the EU then, the NHS staffing issues will be outsourced .. my view is to China.
