Mothers who were at the lodger mother room were the discharged mothers who were waiting for their babies who were still admitted in hospital. They were waiting closer to their babies so that they could take care of them and breast feed them. The Committee observed that the sister who was responsible for the ward seemed very passionate about what she was doing. The only challenge that the staff mentioned was that because they sometimes admitted Somalian mothers who were now living in South Africa, they also had to provide temporary lodgings for their husbands who acted as interpreters as the mothers could not speak English. This was raised as a serious challenge for other patients who were all females and who had to share the ward with men.
