Petition to oppose axing of midwife service
A petition opposing the sudden axing of Rangiora’s community-based midwife service has been launched by the Member of Parliament for Waimakariri Clayton Cosgrove.
Mr Cosgrove launched the petition on Friday in conjunction with the Friends of Rangiora Hospital Group and community spokesperson for the reinstatement of after-hours doctors services Paula Thackwell after it was revealed Rangiora Hospital’s community-based midwife service was being axed from January 2012 onwards.
The petition requests that the “House of Representatives call on the Government to urgently reverse the decision of the Canterbury District Health Board to disband Rangiora Hospital’s community based midwife service.”
Mr Cosgrove says the axing of Rangiora’s midwifery service, with no community consultation, would be another massive blow to health services in North Canterbury following the removal of Rangiora’s after-hours doctors’ service last year.
“Urgent action must be taken from the Government to reverse this decision,” Mr Cosgrove said.
