I have just heard that HBA will not be covering homebirths. They ran a pilot programme but have decided not to continue. I would confirm this tho' by calling them yourself. Maybe if they got lots of calls they'd change their minds!

Well, I have received an email from HBA after asking if they will change their minds about the homebirth cover. I'd quote it here, but there is a little clause at the bottom of the email about intellectual property yaddiyaddah.
The crux of the reply is that my letter will be forwarded to the customer product people and they will make a record of it and add it to any other such requests (if any) - this will be used to adjust their cover policies, should they get enough interest registered.
So, people, get thee to the HBA website and go to the contact section where you submit a query!!! Especially if you already have cover with them.
I might reply and say that I am considering pulling my cover with them to go with someone who does (without telling them that I can't actually find anyone who does, where I wouldn't have to serve the 12 month waiting period, and pay through the nose for such cover...).
PLEASE consider contacting HBA!
