It's just a joke. When are they going to re-open all those birth centres they closed? And when are they going to fund more?
I just do not understand how they can have been able to plan this hospital (and the RCH for that matter!) without including planning for expansion. I mean, they've been talking about the burgeoning need for maternity services for... how long?? How did this even get past the initial planning stages without someone saying, "Errr, folks, we haven't built any extra capacity into the system - do you think we ought to do something about that?"
