The birthing unit at Wyong has been gutted by stealth, and replaced with offices and sleeping quarters for doctors on-call, blindsiding mothers and midwives. 

It’s left a population of more than 350,000 with only one maternity unit, after Gosford Private Hospital announced it is closing the coast’s only private maternity service from March. 

Luke Grant chats with Wyong Hospital NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association Branch delegate, Kelly Falconer, about whether Gosford Public Hospital will be able to cope with the influx of expectant mothers and if the maternity ward will be able to return to Wyong.
