Monitoring maternity services by postal questionnaires to mothers.
There are a number of gaps in existing statistics about maternity services and no systematic collection of data about women's views and experiences of maternity care. Much useful information could be obtained by regular surveys of random samples of mothers obtained from birth registration. Results from a series of studies carried out by the Institute for Social Studies in Medical Care show that this is a practical and useful proposition.
