Weekly poll

In a speech at the recent Conservative party conference it was proposed that 'all mothers in (NHS) maternity care will have access to a single room'. How do you feel about this idea? (Please select one answer only)
It's a great idea and would get my vote! 
It's a good idea, but not a priority 
Sharing a postnatal ward is safer if anything were to happen to you or your baby 
Money should be spent on more midwives instead 
It's unrealistic and would be a waste of money
