HC Deb 15 March 1978 vol 946 c212W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average number of women on an obstetrician's list.

Mr. Moyle

Obstetricians do not have lists as such. The ratio of the number of women giving birth in England in 1976 to whole-time equivalent consultants in gynaecology and obstetrics in that year was 964:1; and the ratio to general practitioner obstetricians was 33:1.
