Alison Eddy: College of Midwives chief says pregnancy should be a condition prioritised for MIQ - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The push for pregnant women to get emergency places in managed isolation continues.  
Journalist Charlotte Bellis has now accepted an emergency MIQ spot.  
The offer was granted based on the risk factor of Bellis and her partner being in Afghanistan - rather than the need for time-critical scheduled treatment.
