Maternity Services in Wales

Maternity Services in Wales

The Auditor General for Wales published his report on Maternity Services in June 2009. The report found that, overall, most women were satisfied with the maternity services they received. However, it also identified concerns about the consistency of maternity service provision across Wales and found that performance and financial information was not generally well-collected or well-used.

In February 2010 the Public Accounts Committee of the third Assembly (2007-2011) published an interim report on Maternity Services. That Committee’s report highlighted a number of areas where further action was needed to improve the provision of maternity services.

The Auditor General for Wales updated the fourth Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee on Maternity Services in Wales in June 2012 and as a result, the Committee agreed to undertake further work in this area. Specifically, the Committee examined the areas where improvement had been identified and sought assurance that improvements would be made.
