Sir, – At a time when simple messages can get lost; letting the midwives lead the way (Cecily Begley and Declan Devane, April 30th) is one which is eminently sensible on every front. Having been a healthy low risk mother-to-be, three of my children were born under the care of the highly competent midwife-led unit at Holles Street Maternity Hospital, with the last one born at home. Less intervention? Yes. Greater satisfaction? Yes . Cheaper for the State? Yes. What’s not to love? – Yours, etc,
