Request and Response

I would be much obliged if your health board could provide the average waiting times for the first in-person appointment between expecting mothers and midwives for each of the last five years.

As we are a small remote and rural Board, we don’t have a waiting time for first in - person appointment. Women self refer and the Midwife for that practice (or her buddy) will contact the woman and arrange a booking appointment. This is usually for the next clinic which is held fortnightly for smaller practices and weekly for the larger ones.
