It is. There are only so many midwives. You don't train them overnight.

They can be recruited from overseas just as they are to an extent now.

The question is why don't people here want to train for this
profession? Working conditions perhaps?

Something I wouldn't like to do.

Your ridiculous notion of just going private and then all will be solved
is
very silly. All it will mean is that rich people benefit over the poor.
It simply means freedom of choice.

The midwives will be tempted over to the private sector at the expensive
of
the real sector.

... and why would they be tempted? Better pay and conditions? WHy
should they be restricted to where they can work?

You just can't get a point can you. All this private Tory balls is still
