Apologies for cross posting

I'm putting together something for a forthcoming workshop with our PCT
looking at different models of care.  I have much time!

Can anyone give me any references on papers which have looked at the savings
of reducing the C/S rate, cost of midwifery led care v obstetric care per
birth etc.

Sorry to be vague.

I do access to the Birth Centre files so have seen all the
reports/presentations there etc.

Thanks
