I absolutely think it would be beneficial. I use an analogy borrowed from someone else: We need a conductor. That type of role and that type of person could help to serve as the conductor to be able to think about all the different pieces and how to allocate the monies and look at midwifery from that big-picture perspective. I absolutely think that there would be a need for and a benefit to such a position.
