Yep, I was just there a fortnight ago and that's exactly what they provided. They gave me loads of surfboard pads, about three packs in the end I think! Didn't run out of Huggies while we were there, but the midwife kept asking if we wanted more. The chux cloths are good for newborn bottoms, you just wet them at the sink right next to the change table. You can take your own wipes if you want, but we found the chux ones better on his bottom than the Huggies ones we'd bought. We're actually still using them now, all the bought wipes are sitting unopened on the change table still.
Birthcare don't provide any clothing for you or bubs though. They do provide a bed and bedding for DH if you're in a private room but not if you're in a shared room. You can order extra meals for DH if you want (again, if you're in a private room) but seriously the meals there are huge and we just shared my food every time, with him ducking out every so often to get an extra snack.
