   Civil War Breaks Out in Royal College of Midwives Over Immigration

 A mini-civil war appears to have broken out in the ranks of the Royal College
of Midwives (RCM) over claims by Lorna Tinsley, National Officer for the Royal
College of Midwives UK Board for Wales, that immigration is the cause of a
sharp increase in pressure on NHS maternity services.

A statement released by the RCM’s General Secretary Professor Cathy Warwick
attacked the British National Party for reporting Ms Tinsley’s claims about
immigration and birth rates. The RCM statement said, “Responding to the
suggestion on the website of the British National Party (BNP) that the Royal
College of Midwives blames immigration for the pressures facing NHS maternity
services, RCM General Secretary Professor Cathy Warwick said: ‘Let me spell it
out simply and clearly. The Royal College of Midwives rejects absolutely the
BNP’s assertion that immigration is a problem. It is not.’”

Ms Warwick’s claims are directly contradictory to the remarks made by Ms
Tinsley, as reported on this website and other media sources, that increased
immigration was indeed the cause of problems within the NHS maternity care
service.

According to Ms Tinsley, who is based in Cardiff and who was closely involved
with the creation of a £2m business plan to increase the number of midwives in
Wales, the rising birth rate affecting NHS services is directly attributable
to immigration.

“This is all because the birth rate is going up and has been for the past
three years,” Ms Tinsley was quoted as saying. “This is caused by increasing
immigration to Wales, the larger number of referrals to UHW for those with
maternity problems and the increasing immigration to the UK by those from
Eastern Europe, many of whom have greater needs for maternity services.
