The information available did not form an adequate basis for monitoring at area level. Although many deliveries take place in general-practitioner maternity units in the South-west, perinatal mortality rates are low. Transfer of babies to a consultant unit, after the delivery is, however, commoner than elsewhere in England and Wales. ER -
