AB  - A study of information available for monitoring care was made during 1974 in 46 general-practitioner maternity units in the South-west of England. 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.
