HC Deb 28 November 1980 vol 994 c211W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many deliveries were carried out by community midwives in hospitals and how many deliveries were carried out by hospital midwives, in the last year for which figures are available.

Sir George Young

In 1979, the latest year for which figures are available, there were 636,884 hospital confinements, of which 24,200 were conducted by domiciliary midwives.

I regret that the other information is not available in the form requested.
