Table 31: Method of onset of labour by NHS trust and site

Table 32: Method of delivery by NHS trust and site

Table 33: Selected statistics by NHS trust and site
Comparison of selected statistics across NHS trusts.
Special note: The figures for normal deliveries in 2006-07 have been removed from Table 33 as there was an error in the calculation. Because of the complexity of both the definition and the calculation of these figures the NHS Information Centre intends to consult expert users and clinicians in order to ensure that the definition of a "normal" delivery and the method used to extract the data from the Hospital Episode Statistics database are both clinically and statistically relevant, and reflect current best practice. The implications of any changes will also be investigated for figures published prior to 2006-07. Other 2006-07 figures are not affected.

Table 35: Unassisted deliveries by NHS Trust and site
