Well obviously! That’s why it’s under investigation.

Really? Of course YANBU, what a silly title. That’s why there’s a major investigation and changes are being made because the standard of care isn’t up scratch.

Do you think people are going to say “YABU, they’re not killing enough babies by having a severe staff shortage, surgeons and midwives should be further pushed beyond breaking point and more resources taken away”?

I don't think "Fuck Off Home" should be excused by short staffing...
