I was listening to the radio this morning when I heard some absolute idiot claim that Capital Coast Health is not trying to bribe the poor by giving them $100 to leave the maternity hospital after only 6 hours after giving birth.
On what planet is this the way to look after new mums in hospital? They say they are lacking in terms of staff to look after the new mum and her baby. A woman, due to have her second child in January, said she was appalled to be told second-time mothers would be discharged directly
from the delivery suite after normal births. "My midwife was horrified. This is treating women like numbers, that is if you push your baby out quick enough, here's your $100 reward."
Time to do something about that. Wouldn't you say?
