Many thanks Alison, much appreciated
- as I thought, information about birth attendants is only available for
England. A frustrating lack of data if you are trying to make a case for the
importance of midwives!
All the best

What United Kingdom?
Data for England are here.

See comments on data quality.
Wales. It only has method of delivery, not person conducting it.

Ditto for Scotland, although it is worth querying this with the ISD
contacts guiven on this web site
http://www.isdscotland.org/isd/1019.html
In Northern Ireland, data are not routinely collated. See
BirthchoiceUK web site.

Dear all
I’m struggling to find out the most recent figures for the
number of midwife attended births in the UK – does anyone know how to access
this information? It doesn’t seem to be held with all the usual Birth stats
information, but maybe I’m missing something!
Also – I need to reference the ‘old’ midwifery clinical
grades for an international journal paper. Again, does anyone know of a website
where this info is held – I can only find details of the new banding scale.
Many thanks in anticipation!
All the best
Billie
