Citing financial constraints, the government is suspending the work of the council in implementing policies and standards necessary for the implemention of midwifery services.
Association President Nathalie Pambrun tells Tide News cutting funding is short-sighted and makes no sense at this time.
She says they have some good momentum with the work the council has already done and she finds it very unfortunate that it should close for such a small amount of money.
Pambrun says they are disappointed by the government's decision adding people have been waiting for access to these services since the government announced the implementation of the Midwifery Act in 2010.
