Not enough midwives

"Not enough midwives"

About: Royal Oldham Hospital / Maternity

(as a service user),

Lovely midwives, but not enough of them. It feels like a conveyor belt on the ward. Women are waiting to go to the next ward for the next stage. Midwives just keep saying "sorry for the delay".   I think it's a very poor service, with the midwives being blamed when it's not their fault.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our maternity service. I am very sorry to hear that you felt as though the ward was a conveyor belt. This is certainly not the experience that we want our women to encounter. Please accept our apologies for any distress that was caused during your stay. I am more than willing to look into the concerns that you raised further. Please email me directly at:

Once again thank you for raising your concerns.
