New places will need to be made available to meet the target of 4000 new midwives by 2012 announced by Department of Health
May 9, 2008
Sir Nicholas Winterton MP, an honorary president of the Royal College of Midwives, this week questioned the Department of Health about the number of places that would be made available for student midwives and midwifery education to meet the target of 4000 new midwives by 2012. Health Secretary Alan Johnson noted that a large percentage of the 4000 would need new places and that an announcement could be expected around the time of the annual conference of the Royal College of Midwives at the end of May.
