Currently staffing levels at Blackpool Victoria Hospital mean two per cent of women giving birth fail to get one-to-one care
More midwives are being recruited in Blackpool as maternity chiefs strive to provide 100 per cent of women with a dedicated midwife during labour.
It adds: “The incidents where one-to-one care cannot be provided is escalated to the matron and appropriate action is taken. The team are committed to achieving 100 per cent.” An assessment of the maternity unit in 2021, found it was 20 midwives short of being fully staffed.But that shortfall has now been reduced to five with recent recruitment including three international midwives, two returning midwives, and 10 students who have been offered jobs following their training.
