33121 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: How many rural LMC midwives, if any, have ceased LMC practice, broken down by district and financial year, since 2018/19 financial year?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that data collected by the Midwifery Council on the Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) workforce does not identify if an LMC is based in a rural location.
