Maternity Survey
- Abstract
-
The Survey was designed to provide actionable feedback to each participating NHS trust on patients' views of the maternity care they had received. Although 151 trusts providing maternity services took part in the survey, the dataset contains data for 148 trusts: two trusts were excluded due to the very small size of their maternity units, which meant that very few women could be included in their sample. The results from a third trust were excluded from the national figures due to a sampling error that resulted in a lack of comparability of their data with other trusts.
