Now, if we do have a situation that we can offer that type of service to women, I think this issue wouldn't have been as, I don't think it would have sparked as much fury or anger
And another point I want to bring into this is I think many people, women, families, didn't actually realise that this was happening.
So again, it's going back to messaging similar to the messaging around migration in this country, that perhaps the general population, until the consultants and the master of the Rotunda spoke out about this service is going to end, people weren't actually aware of that.
Well, you can see that definitely the consultants and the masters have a lot of clout when it comes to decisions.
But unusually, I think this week we did see the minister coming out.
And I think previously, perhaps they were little kingdoms across the country where, you know, as I said, masters of hospitals rule the roost.
But Jennifer Carl McNeill does seem to be coming out strongly now and setting down the rules and saying,
making sure that they are adhered to.
She's made enemies now with the Master of Maternity Hospital, with consultants, with pharmacists, with the board of the Mater Hospital, and she's only been in there a short time.
It remains to be seen, though, whether she has chosen the right battles and whether perhaps...
she will make an enemy of herself on behalf of the general public for the betterment of the health service.
I think it's too early in the day to see whether, as I said, she's picked the right battles there.
