Midwives and maternity service managers met today to discuss the short term future of the inpatient birthing service at Andover Birth Centre (ABC).
After discussing different options to keep this aspect of the service running, it has been decided to continue with the planned suspension of births and postnatal stays at ABC.
The suspension starts with immediate effect and will continue until the new year.
However, staff at the centre presented the chief executive with a new staffing model which is now being worked on with a view to implementation early next year.
This means that the suspension – which does not affect antenatal, postnatal community care services and home births – will be shorter than initially anticipated.

The recent press release to the Andover Advertiser revealed the trust plans to close the birth centre. Strong feelings about the closure have been shared in the new facebook group and on the Andover Sound website.
More information for worried parents is available in the attached document, made available this morning from the trust, and available to download. Should anyone need further support please report your concerns and discuss them with the supervisors of midwives, who are there to help.
