"Mothers to have birthing choice", a pledge by Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt (The Argus, April 4).

I have news for her. Mothers have already made their birthing choice.

Eastbourne mothers choose to give birth in Eastbourne, Hastings and Rye mothers choose to give birth in the Conquest Hospital, Hastings.

Now will the Health Secretary fulfil her pledge?
