How many midwifery red flag events did the Trust record in 2021?

The Chelsea site recorded a total of 341 such events in 2021. The majority of these were for shortage of staff to manage workloads and delayed care.

The West Middlesex site does now use red flag recording but was not in early 2021 and the data from that year is limited.
