Maternity Unit level data on multiple pregnancies

The request was partially successful.

Dear Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

Twins Trust is undertaking a national multiple pregnancy bench-marking exercise. As part of this, I would like to request information relating to the multiple pregnancies delivered at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital and Royal Hampshire County Hospital maternity units.

The unit level data requested is for the following categories:
- Number of Multiple Birth Pregnancies (e.g. twins, triplets, quads +)
- Number of Foetuses delivered from a Multiple Birth
- Multiple Birth Still Births (number of babies)
- Multiple Birth pregnancies resulting in an Emergency C-Sections
- Multiple Birth Neonatal Deaths (number of babies)
- Multiple Birth Neonatal Admissions (number of babies admitted to a neonatal unit for their care)
For each of the following years 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Please also confirm if current antenatal care for multiple pregnancies (in 2020 and going forward) is delivered in, each unit, by a "a core team of named specialist obstetricians, specialist midwives and sonographers, all of whom have experience and knowledge of managing twin and triplet pregnancies" in accordance with NICE guideline NG137.

Please let me know if any questions are unclear.

Yours faithfully,

Keith Reed
CEO, Twins Trust
