This does not affect Lead Maternity Carers (LMCs).
Our priority is the safety of our mothers and their babies and we have plans in place to ensure women can access the services they need and are kept safe during the strike.
No women will be turned away from our delivery suite.
We expect the main impact on our maternity services to be the postponement of some ante-natal clinics. We will contact those patients directly.
