Maternity wards are being forced to turn away expectant mothers because they cannot cope with soaring demand from immigrants.One hospital even had to shut its maternity ward for two months because its staff were needed elsewhere to deliver babies from foreign-born mothers.
An investigation has found the cost of providing maternity services for immigrants has more than doubled in only a decade to £350million a year.
But the Government has massively underestimated the scale of the problem, and last year the number of midwives actually fell for the first time since Labour came to power.
According to an investigation by the BBC's Ten O'Clock News, one baby in eight was born to an immigrant mother in 1997.
Now, the figure is almost one in four.
