Midwives and supporters protest cuts to staffing at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred hospital – video

Midwives and supporters rallied outside the Royal Prince Alfred hospital in Camperdown on Tuesday, protesting against cuts to the number of staff deployed across the birth and delivery unit. The NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association says the reductions will mean the hospital won't be able to provide one midwife to each woman. O'Bray Smith, the association's president, said nine beds in the maternity ward would be cut, warning that 'women will be pushed out faster than they already are'. Ryan Park
