Midwifery Records and legal issues surrounding them.
Midwives are subject to statutory supervision and the Midwives' Rules. The Nursing and Midwifery Council has set out very special and very strict rules on how midwives records should be kept, stored, handled and supervised. Rule 9 sets out stipulations in relation to the keeping of midwifery records. Rule 10 requires them to permit the inspection of their records by the supervisor, the local supervising authority and the NMC.
