It really saddens me that when you have two excellent employees who care passionately about their work, that they are pushed out when there are other NHS people out there who don't care as much for their patients or their unit. Please reinstate them now, I would have had my second baby in the car if they had not been around!

Thankfully her 'mums' supported her too. I don't think it is right that fundamentally good women should be treated so badly. I hope these midwives aren't forgotten and that they got their jobs back.3

I had trouble breast feeding and they showed nothing but positive, accurate and knowledgeable advice. My child is almost two and they gave me the skills and confidence to feed my child in the best way possible, so much so that she is still breast fed just as the World Health Organisation recommends. They treated all of my family who visited the unit with nothing but respect. I would and do recommend that anyone who wants the best midwifery care goes to Chipping Norton as the midwives are renowned in the area as the best. They must be reinstated as soon as possible to ensure positive births that lead to positive parenting.

The NHS seriously needs to review its policies about 'whistle blowing' and investigate the situation fairly. Surely, there should be a 'no blame culture' and these issues could be heard and investigated without 'shooting the messenger'.

I find it very scary that people could see what's happened to Louise and Ali , and then keep their heads down and be afraid to speak out would render them in fear or losing their jobs and any future income as a midwife.

If people see working practices which could potentially damage of jeopardise the health and welfare of others then they should be applauded for their bravery in bringing it to the attention of the authorities - and not victimised for it.

Please see sense and reinstate (and compensate) these two midwives who have already been through enough.
