A report on the province's midwifery pilot project was completed in 2022, but the Department of Health has yet to talk to or send the report to the midwifery council.
The report was obtained by the New Brunswick Green Party through a right to information request and provided to Global News. It calls on the government to expand midwifery services across the province, immediately scale up the existing Fredericton clinic, begin looking at options to create spots for New Brunswickers in midwifery educational programs and overhaul the act governing the profession.
“I’d like to reiterate the indispensable role that midwives play in maternal and child health. Investing in quality midwifery care is not merely a service to childbearing families, it’s a robust investment in our population’s health and can strengthen our health-care system,” she said.“As MLAs, you have the capacity to enact meaningful change.
“Midwifery is one the issues where successive governments have dragged their heels in bringing it to fruition and they’re still dragging their heels.”
