Support for paying GPs to enter maternity care

5:00AM Thursday April 10, 2008
By Martin Johnston

Health officials have supported paying for a partial re-entry of general practitioners into maternity care to help out with the midwife shortage - after more than a decade of largely excluding GPs.

A Ministry of Health paper released yesterday under the Official Information Act said there was a national shortage of 85 community-based midwives.

The paper, dated last September, follows another from weeks earlier by the district health boards' association that put the national shortage of hospital and community (lead maternity carer or LMC) midwives at around 200.

National MP Katrina Shanks, whose party obtained the paper, said that based on College of Midwives advice that each community-based midwife tended to have a caseload of 40-50, a shortage of 85 meant that around 4000 pregnant women "are in limbo".

"Things are likely to get a lot worse for expectant mums as lead maternity carers become more and more scarce."

She said the Government had failed to show leadership on the midwife shortage.
