Far too little too late. That's right, Carrot. I agree, they should shut down King's! A perinatal mortality rate of 7.9 per 1000 at King?s, compared to 4.9 per 1000 at the Albany? King's is ridding itself of the superior competition and the direct comparison, because they are not meeting their improvement targets.

We had a baby with the Albany and they were incredibly caring, well organised and professional. Something that we can't say of our experience of the midwives and doctors at King's. When we were at the Labour Ward at King's there was blood on the walls, the door to our birthing room was broken, which didn't matter cos people were coming in and out because they were storing equipment in there, too. it was a nightmare. the midwives at King's were stressed, tired, sarcastic and confused :( and the doctors treated them and us like time wasters. It won't have been like this for everyone, but I haven't heard of anybody who was treated like that by the Albany. SIGN THE PETITION! More about the campaign here News reports on youtube

the bbc report and previous ones by more4 and the guardian are on . they are all quite low quality, but you'll get the gist of it. watching those news in a row you can see the change, as the allegations are repeated, they are more and more reported like facts. I had a baby with the Albany Midwives and will have my next one with them, too if possible. They were incredibly good. Our experience at King's was a nightmare of uncaring unprofessionalism. they should be put out of business, not the Albany.
