35,000 people signed a petition demanding a rethink and hundreds of midwives signed a public letter of protest concerning her move. One midwife commented: ‘I chose to pursue a career in midwifery because I wanted to help women and babies throughout one of the most vulnerable times of both their lives... Yet the campaign that the RCM has signed up to is antithetical to this wonderful calling.
