Student Bursaries For Trainee Midwives
EDM number 373 in 2004-05, proposed by Chris McCafferty on 13/12/2004.
That this House recognises the vital role that midwives play in the NHS; notes that many student midwives face financial problems during their training and that according to the Royal College of Midwives poll, around a fifth of midwives fail to complete their studies due to financial hardship, and therefore supports the RCM campaign to provide a ú10,000 non-means tested bursary for all student midwives, ensuring more students are attracted to midwifery, are able to complete their course and go on to become practising midwives.
This motion has been signed by a total of 94 MPs.
