2018 maternity survey: Find the results for your local trust
We asked over 17,600 women who gave birth early last year about their experience of maternity care.
Nationally, we found that most women had a good experience, particularly in relation to support from staff, access to midwives and emotional support during pregnancy.
But some areas fell short of expectations. Issues highlighted included those around continuity of care, choice in antenatal and postnatal services and access to help, and information and support after giving birth.
