Hi Deborah, It is getting a bit old now but we did a cost comparison of midwife-led and consultant-led intrapartum care: Hundley V, Donaldson C, Lang G, et al. (1995) Costs of intrapartum care in a midwife managed delivery unit and a consultant led labour ward. Midwifery 11; 103-109. We also did some follow-on work looking at women's preferences using health economic techniques - not sure if you are interested in them, if so let me know. I'm sure there were economic components to the RCT of midwife-led care in Glasgow and the evaluation of One-to-One midwifery care in London. There are others on this list (Helen Cheyne & Trudi Stevens) who should be able to direct to any papers that exist. Vanora Deborah said: > Happy New Year to All > > > Is anyone aware of any economic evaluations that have been carried out > on midwife led units/birth centres with or without the comparator being > a consultant led unit? > In anticipation of a great response.
