The NHS needs its TOP and Vasectomy services as the Midwifery/ Obstetric
services are being managerially shafted, the evidence is reviewed here
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article2326232.ece
Back of envelope suggests this means 68 more women died in childbirth in the
last 3 years than would have if the mortality rate had remained as in the
prior 3 years. Apparently we now have the worst rates in Europe. This on a
day when I am told I have to prescibe air-conditioning units!!!!!!!! I shall
await the evidence base with interest but suggest the savings available to
society from these are peanuts compared to that of getting Maternity care
right. I have never before but I feel a letter to my MP is required.

Maybe you need to diversify and switch to a TOP service. Or offer a
private vasectomy service as the NHS is not providing vasectomy. BW Fay
