READING the articles about the lack of accommodation at The Princess Anne Maternity Suite, reminded me of when I was in the Maternity Ward in May, 1960, when the Sister remarked:
"If any more women go into labour this week, their babies will have to be delivered on the lawn."
It would appear that not much has changed!
