As you know I like to keep track of what the Families Commission is spending the taxpayer's $7 million a year on.
"Researchers, funded by the Families Commission Blue Skies Fund, interviewed 40 Chinese, Korean, South African, UK, USA, Indian, Palestinian and Iraqi women about their experience of pregnancy and birth in New Zealand.
Migrant women who become new mothers in New Zealand say their cultural needs are often not met or understood by health professionals."
Looks like 'cultural insensitivity' is contagious. Perhaps it's caught in maternity wards.

The problem lies with the migrants wanting to maitain their cultural practices within a system that is geared for New Zealand. The most glaring example is the demand from muslim women for women doctors only to attend to them when there are maily menon duty.
