All women to be given right to caesarean

The NHS plans to make the operation available to healthy women capable of giving birth naturally for the first time in its history.

Although a quarter of all births are already currently carried out by caesarean, women do not have the automatic right to ask for one if there is no medical reason for it. However there have been cases where women have persuaded doctors to perform it as a matter of preference, though this has always been an exception to the rule.
