Midwives Act 1966 s 18
In the case of an emergency a midwife shall call to his or her assistance a registered medical practitioner or advise that the case be transferred to a hospital: Provided that any fees so incurred shall be payable in the same manner as if the emergency services had been engaged by the patient herself.
Kes kecemasan
Dalam kes kecemasan seseorang bidan hendaklah meminta bantuan seorang pengamal perubatan berdaftar atau menasihatkan supaya kes itu dipindahkan ke hospital: Dengan syarat bahawa apa-apa fi yang ditanggung hendaklah dibayar mengikut cara yang sama seolah-olah perkhidmatan kecemasan itu telah didapatkan oleh pesakit itu sendiri.
