An article in Politiken, one of the most serious newspapers in DK:
Rigshospitalet afviser: Vi lukker ikke fødestuer for Mary - Politiken.dk
Because some reporters on BT and TV2 didn't check their facts first, the story about Mary having commandeered nine delivery rooms at Rigshspitalet is still circulating.
Now, to get things straight the head of the maternity ward, Morten Hedegaard, has stated to Politiken: "No one who is giving birth will be moved to other maternity wards in connection with the upcoming birth within the royal family. We have not closed down not one nor more delivery rooms at the maternity ward", Says Morten Hedegaard.
(»Der er ingen fødende, der bliver flyttet til andre fødesteder med baggrund i den kommende fødsel i kongehuset. Vi har ikke lukket hverken en eller flere fødestuer på fødegangen«, siger Morten Hedegaard.)
There are thirteen delivery rooms at Rigshospitalet and there are on average fifteen deliveries a day.
The planning takes place six months in advance and not everyone who wish to give birth at Rigshospitalet can do so. This hospital has the most advanced maternity ward in DK and as such women who suffer from various afflictions or complications are put on a higher priority than normal healthy women.
"As such there can be patients who have been turned away from here, but this has no relation to the royal birth", says Morten Hedegaard.
(»Der kan således være patienter, der er blevet afvist her, men dette har ingen relation til den kongelige fødsel«, siger Morten Hedegaard.)
In other words the nine delivery rooms mentioned, were those Mary was designated to give birth in. But she can only give birth in one place at a time. So when they day comes she will be wheeled into the available room among the nine selected.
