I am surprised that anyone gets any kind of care these days in hospital. There are frequently only 2 qualified staff on the wards (post-natal especially) looking after 22 mums and babies. Midwives and nursing staff seem to accrue more and more paperwork to do with every passing government target and proposal. I remember once asking at a team meeting (when our manager introduced us to yet more new paperwork that we had to complete to meet some target or other) if it would be possible for any of us to actually do some midwifery for a change. The result being a roomful of giggles from my equally jaded colleagues...
