Mr. WiltshireTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list NHS maternity units in descending order of(a) the ratio of midwives in post to the total number of births and (b) the ratio of the full complement of midwives to the total number of births in 2001. [67458]
§ Jacqui Smith[holding answer 5 July 2002]The figures are shown in the table in descending order and they represent for each trust the ratio of midwives in post and complement in September 2000 to deliveries in 2000–01 in that trust. Women who are cared for during pregnancy by midwives from one trust may later give birth in a unit in another trust. Relevant information is only available by trusts rather than units.

1 Establishment midwife figures are the sum of the staff in posts figures as at 30 September 2000 and the 3 month vacancy figures as at 31 March 2001 so will not necessarily give an accurate reflection of the actual establishment.
2 Headcount establishment figures are the sum in post headcount and the 3 month vacancies whole-time equivalents, headcount vacancy figures are unavailable.
3 Deliveries at Royal London (RNJ) are attended by midwives employed by Tower Hamlets (RRG) and have therefore been excluded.
4 Figures are rounded to three decimal places.
5 Due to rounding totals may not equal the sum of component parts.
6 Figures exclude learners and agency staff.
