Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The RCOG established this working party, representing the Royal Colleges of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Midwives, Anaesthetists, Paediatrics and Child Health as well as other stakeholder organisations, to develop national standards for maternity care. It had the following remit:
1. To review current evidence-based published standards in the area of maternity practice.
2. To derive from these documents agreed standards for maternity care, from prepregnancy through to the postnatal period.
3. To complete the work within one year.
The final report was published in June 2008.
