Tim Dyde, head of Tozers LLP's clinical negligence team, comments:

"This is not about being against home births - the NHS has community midwives, all fully insured to give mothers the chance of a home birth.  It's about independent midwives who choose to practise outside the NHS without any insurance.  Any true professional knows that at some point they will make a mistake.  I cannot understand how independent midwives can practise knowing that if they get it wrong, which they will at some point, the child that is born damaged will be left without the money they and their family need to help them live with the effects of their disability.''
