Hi Hendry

 

Thank you for your freedom of information request.

 

See attached scorecards for each year.

 

Please note, we are not able to supply all this information without
additional resources, as significant pieces of this require notes audit,
interrogation of the ‘old’ maternity system and manual counts.

Dear Bhangu Neelam (EALING HOSPITAL NHS TRUST),

Thank you very much for the comprehensive response.

There are few things that I am not entirely clear about, which would be great if you can help clarify further.

1. Under "type of birth" for every report, there are figures given for "% Neonates" - can you kindly further explain what exactly do these figures refer to? Is it the % of birth attended by the neonatal team for potential neonatal distress,etc?
2. Regarding number of complaints/SUIs, are these covering maternity i.e. obstetric ONLY or involve BOTH obstetrics and gynae?

In addition to these,
3. For the Apr 2011 - March 2012 maternity performance card, the absolute number of deliveries for each month were not provided (although a bar chart was given). Will it possible to get these numbers i.e. total number of deliveries by month between apr 2011 and mar 2012? This will be really helpful in helping me read the data more clearly, as the performance cards for the rest of the years provide these figures with gap missing in the middle for 2011-2012.

Many thanks for your wonderful help, Mr Neelam.

Yours sincerely,

Hendry Kosasih

I have requested this information 40days ago and still waiting for a reply. It would be wonderful if you can provide me with further clarification of my queries at the earliest time that is convenient for you. The followings are few questions I am not clear about, that would be wonderful if you can help me with:

1. Under "type of birth" for every report, there are figures given
for "% Neonates" - can you kindly further explain what exactly do
these figures refer to? Is it the % of birth attended by the
neonatal team for potential neonatal distress,etc?
2. Regarding number of complaints/SUIs, are these covering
maternity i.e. obstetric ONLY or involve BOTH obstetrics and gynae?

In addition to these,
3. For the Apr 2011 - March 2012 maternity performance card, the
absolute number of deliveries for each month were not provided
(although a bar chart was given). Will it possible to get these
numbers i.e. total number of deliveries by month between apr 2011
and mar 2012? This will be really helpful in helping me read the
data more clearly, as the performance cards for the rest of the
years provide these figures with gap missing in the middle for
2011-2012.

Many thanks for your help and looking forward to your response.
