Southland parents fight to save Lumsden birth centre
Parents around northern Southland are vowing to fight a plan to close a baby birthing centre in Lumsden. A petition against a district health board plan to downgrade the Lumsden Maternity Centre to a support hub has already gathered two-and-a-half-thousand signatures. A protest has been organised for Saturday to march down the main street.
