We're thrilled to announce that Mumsnet is going to be leading the NHS trial to outsource maternity wards - see the full announcement here. Over the next few weeks we'll be popping up regularly for feedback on how you'd like maternity wards to operate and to hone our plans. The aim is simple - to make the UK maternity wards the envy of the world. Move over Bounty, it's time for #MNHS!

Pregnant women will also be offered a no-quibble, no-returns, caesarian option, with online check-in up to 15 minutes in advance of the operation.

You mean there's someone who offers sale-or-return on caesarians? Do you have their number?

Sign me up - can I apply to work there? Is there a good pension scheme???? Or I will take payment in Gin, not fussy.... Grin

Not sure I like the idea of no quibble no returns caesareans though, how does that fit with nice guidelines? Or are you involved in rewriting those too?

A "gin bar"? Methinks you are playing with us Justine!Grin

This is amazing. Ive just been reading the plans and they sound brilliant. Babyliss big hair on every ward - youve really got to the bottom of what women need when they're giving birth. Well done again mnhq.
