Local member Amanda Rishworth says she can \u201cimagine the feelings\u201d of women caught up in the closure of Flinders Private\u2019s obstetric unit<\/a> — because she is one of them.<\/h3>\n

Ms Rishworth told FIVEAA\u2019s Leon Byner on Friday:<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually was notified by my obstetrician yesterday. They had only just found out that no longer would any obstetric services be available at Flinders Private from the 31st<\/sup> of July, which is an incredibly short lead-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are pregnant for nine months — to be having the 31st<\/sup> of July as the cut off date is a very short period of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy due date is the 2nd<\/sup> of August so I\u2019m in a little bit of limbo, so I can imagine the feelings of many, many women in the southern suburbs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this took everyone by surprise. I think it\u2019s taken the government by surprise, I think it\u2019s taken all the staff by surprise and the medical, all the doctors by surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone saw this coming and I think it is a real tragedy for the south.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
