Can't believe that such a special hospital as Mona Vale has losted its right for parents to welcome there new baby into the world. Myself and my brothers both where born at MVH. Hope you can reopen soon.... Manly is just to far to travel from Avalon if you are giving birth......

Midwife only services may work when you are in or close to a full service maternity but it is a 40 minute drive to Manly and that is a long time when you are in distress. Midwifes are a vital part of the birth and post birth process but it is also imperative to have Doctors available if there are complications as well as post natal care.

My son was born in Mona Vale Hospital - had a great experience with it. Way too far to go to any other hospital - just not fair to families of the Northern Beaches not to have a maternity unit.

As a midwife that moved to the area 12 months ago, It is a shame there ther is no where local for me to work. I do not wish to travel 45 mins + to get to work each day. I am a passionate supporter of public health care, it is embarassing for the government that they are not providing a simple right to access maternity care in the local commuinity. I am a midwife for one simple reason - I want ot be able to work as a midwife, not an obstetric nurse in a private hospital.

PLEASE restore Mona Vale Maternity - we NEED it here on the Northern Beaches. How 3rd world that mothers have to all travel to Manly or North Shore or Hornsby...And Manly is sooooo busy - a friend of mine recently had great trouble booking in for an induction. Rediculous!! Mona Vale Maternity has always been brilliant, run by brilliant staff. Everywhere you look, you see pregnant women. So, come on...do the right and only sensible thing and restore services. THANK YOU :) :)

I cannot believe that women are expected to travel to Manly or North Shore hospitals the minute something goes wrong or they need an epidural. Straight forward pregnancies can turn life-threatening instantly and not having doctors there or on call is ludicrous. The governemnt should stop using the community's welfare as a way to save money. Nobody wants the new proposal. It's dangerous. Bring back full maternity to Mona Vale Hospital!!!!

Comparison is made between the proposed maternity service and that offered at the Royal Hospital for Women. However, the Royal Hospital for Women has on site obstetricians which are used in cases of emergencies. I know for a fact, these doctors are regularly consulted and used for intervention in emergencies. It is unreasonable, and not always possible to transfer a patient in an obstetric emergency.

It is ridiculous in the extreme to even contemplate operating a maternity unit in a hospital without the back-up of emergency obstetric and pediatric care. Many families do choose midwife supported births at home without incident, however for the majority who choose a hospital birth, the safety and security afforded by doctors and modern technology is crucial. To do otherwise puts so many lives unnecessarily at risk. This cannot and should not be an economic decision. It is a moral one.

I have no idea how Kristina Keneally can justify knocking down peoples homes to build a water fun park when what we really need is funding into our local hospitals and support staff. It'd be good if the government could prioritize once in a while. It's a long trip to Manly hospital from Palm Beach and lets be honest, the governement are not exactly looking after that hospital very well either.

I've had two children @ MVH both required last minute medical intervention of different kind which was not forseen during the pregnancies. I feel that had a specialist doctor not been in attendance I could have easily lost one or both of my babies. I doubt I'm alone being in this position. Therefor it's imperative that the Govt keep specialists in attendance @ MVH to protect mothers and babies at unforseen birthing situations like mine & to hopefully prevent a tragic loss!!!

We are privileged to live in a first world country which offers quality medical care. Giving birth is a wonderful experience but it is also scary, unbelievably painful and can come with unforseen complications. Every mother I know (including myself) felt extremely reassured we were able to give birth at a local hospital (Mona Vale) which offered midwife and obstetrics care. I believe we have a duty of care to all people and I am astounded any Government or Health Service thinks otherwise.

Spare a thought for the thousands of women who are likely to give birth at this hospital. If a pregnancy is deemed Low Risk, and complications arise during labour, you can't just turn around and load them into an ambulance for a half hour journey to Manly or Hornsby. The situation needs to be dealt with promptly with the invention of an available Obstetrician. Without full services, women will not feel comfortable giving birth at Mona Vale, and it will be yet another waste of vital funding.
