Support people sleep on floor at Christchurch women's hospital

From Morning Report, 8:49 am on 5 July 2021

At Christchurch Women's Hospital, when a support person stays with a new mum and baby -  they have to sleep on the floor.  

Charity the Māia Health Foundation wants to change that - launching a campaign today to raise forty-four thousand dollars for comfy chairs you can sleep in.

Lisa Kahu works in the mama and pēpi service in Kaikōura.

She spoke to Corin Dann.
