That's a great point katnap! In fact i know of several women in Perth (scotland) who chose not to have and Ob and went midwife only purely because the number of MRSA cases in newborns at the nearest obstetric cnetre was terrifying - WELL above the national average. My friend had to have an emergency section there due to her bubs turning partially-breech (bum, one foot and one hand presenting) during labour and she was VERY concerned. The centre have since pulled their socks up, because the NHS's openness means everyone is fully accountable.
