No idea! I spoke to my GP and he has already put me on the public waiting list at the same hospital. But I will ask my midwife to put it in their notes so that it doesn't seem like a spur of the moment decision.
Because you're going public it should be easy to do - I know quite a few women who've had it done during a c/s. But if you were going to a private-religion affiliated hospital then they will flat out refuse to do a sterilisation. DH couldn't have his vasectomy done in the private hospital because it was catholic based and they wont do IVF procedures or sterilisation.
