Controversies and concerns about maternity care continue to create a demand for statistics but many people involved in these debates are still unaware of the vast range of information collected by government departments and the National Health Service (NHS). This publication brings together and reviews statistics about pregnancy, childbirth and newborn babies, the health services provided for them, and the social, economic and environmental factors which can affect the outcome of pregnancy. The first volume is a critical guide to the statistics, showing how some of their limitations result from the historical context in which the collection of data developed. Data from many sources is included in the second volume, which consists of over 350 tables, on subjects such as geographical variations, social class differences and time trends in births and infant mortality, place of birth, staffing of the maternity services and the costs of having a baby. Most of the data is for recent years, but some data for earlier periods is included, along with historical time series.
