And I get loads of

Ex-midwives who are probably in the generation above us used to love their career and stuck around for 20 odd years, who might have children who have tried it and are just not treated with adequate respect.

And so I think that there's a huge problem.

And, you know, the government spend more money.

paying out medical negligence cases than they do on the care in the first place.

And that's what's so alarming.

And so there clearly needs to be this huge shake up to tackle a lot of these problems for women because it's becoming a systemic issue.

And yeah, I just, I really, really hope that we can get our foot in the door.

And look, I mean, I have very little experience when it comes to politics.

So it's something that I'm interested in.

and I'm reading more about, but it's definitely not my space.

Absolutely.

And I think that there has been an issue, obviously, amongst women's health, because largely the houses of commons have been made up of men.

Now I think that, you know, there's a bit more equality.

I think 40% of politicians are women.

So we're kind of on the cusp of like this pretty major change.

And I do really admire other people that have stepped forward and have dedicated so much of their time and their privilege and having a big following towards trying to

create a big shift you know you're very close friends with Davina she does so much for the menopause which I think is amazing Vicky Pattinson speaks a lot about endometriosis and it's really it's really great to be surrounded by such incredible company and I think that we are really on the cusp of change and I just hope that we can get a conversation in with West Streeting because this it doesn't benefit anybody you know there's not one person that benefits from this

I feel a really mixed fan.

So I feel I have moments where I feel really empowered and I feel as though I've got like this army of people marching behind me that all want this to happen.
