Regarding the insurance issue for independent midwives, there is a demo planned for Trafalgar Square this Friday. I think there is an RCM conference going on.
I don't know the details but my midwife has just mentioned it to me. I think they are all going to wear black and let off black balloons at 10.30am to coincide with the conference. I shall go as it will be a little trip out for me and dd.
I know it is late notice and many people will be working but I thought I would advertise this here as I'm not sure how many people know about it, and I reckon the more people go the better.
If you can't make it there is going to be another demo in Brighton in May outside the labour party conference.
