The follow-up care of babies discharged from special care baby units in England and Wales between 1988 and 1989.
This survey of District Health Authorities in England and Wales forms part of a wider study into the needs of babies discharged from special care baby units in South Glamorgan Health Authority. The aim of the survey was to find out what types of care were offered to babies who had been in a Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) and their families following the babies' discharge from hospital. This in turn raised interesting issues concerning the community care of these babies and their families which are discussed in this article.
