Dear Mr Collier

Re: Points raised at the Public Accounts Committee meeting on Monday 12 November 2012

As requested in your recent e-mail dated 4^th December 2012, please find attached the maternity system database collated on a monthly basis for Cwm Taf Health Board. This provides a range of obstetric measures for the Health Board including Caesarean Section rates. I have enclosed the high level data set, but would be able to provide the same level of information for each geographical team if required.

I have also enclosed the recent evaluation of the relocated alongside birth centre in Prince Charles Hospital which was presented to the Community Health Council in November 2012.

In addition to the above information, the following table provides the required information in relation to the % of women booked for care at or prior to 10 weeks gestation within Cwm Taf Health Board.

PERFORMANCE MEASURE 2 Percentage of women who:	Current status	Action required	Status/ Lead
Proportion of women whose initial assessment has been carried out by 10 completed weeks of pregnancy	Assessment and offering antenatal screening part of booking interview Stats available from January 2010 for Cwm Taf LHB via Mits database.	2011 Booked =< 10 weeks gestation 4428 (75%) Jan-June 2012 Booked =< 10 weeks gestation 1852 (74.4%)	Compliant since January 2010 (green)

I hope the above provides all the necessary information required by the Public Accounts Committee, if however further information is required please do not hesitate to contact me.
