In 1985, Wendy Savage was suspended from medical practice for alleged incompetence in the management of five obstetric cases. The subsequent debate and public enquiry became a cause celebre. A Savage Enquiry is a gripping account of Wendy Savage's suspension from medical practice for alleged incompetence and her subsequent reinstatement, and identified six policy issues which were raised by the enquiry:
In Birth and Power, Wendy Savage and other eminent contributors examine what has happened since the issues were brought into focus twenty-five years ago and consider what still needs to be done.
Contributions include a woman surgeon's personal account of suspension from practice; an account of the threats to academic freedom written by Anne MacLean, an academic who blew the whistle and suffered the consequences; and a discussion on accountability by the esteemed professor, James Drife. Birth and Power is of particular interest to academics, health workers, social researchers, teachers, students and mothers.
