Q What has changed since you started working as a midwife in Wanaka in 2013? Wanaka midwife Deb Harvey is concerned by the state of midwifery in Upper Clutha. For a job that is about building families, it’s really not a family-friendly job for the midwife. As a midwife, I have to accompany the woman through to Dunedin and we transfer to the obstetric team on arrival. I can’t be the only midwife, so we need at least two locums to fill the gap when Morgan leaves in April.
