How many pilot schemes have been set up as a result of the Changing Childbirth initiative; how many were funded through this initiative; how many pilot schemes have been discontinued; and how many have been modified. [HL3638]

Since 1994 the Department of Health has provided funding of £1.5 million for 33 development projects. A final reportChanging Childbirth Development Projects Summary Report, which highlights achievements and lessons learnt and provides contact details, was published in August 1998. Copies have been placed in the Library. The report sets out the position as at mid-1998 and no further action to follow up the projects has been taken since then.
