PRIMARY DISCHARGE REASON (MOTHER MATERNITY SERVICES) is the primary reason that the mother was discharged from a Maternity Service.

b) Level of deprivation of the mother, from 1-Most deprived to 10-Least deprived
c) Racial and/or Ethnic group of the mother, e.g. Asian, Black, White, etc.
2) Available support programs & groups mothers are signposted to after a miscarriage and, if applicable, criteria for receiving support.
3) The total number of bereavement midwives employed by your trust or any other staff/nurses specialised in supporting women after a miscarriage.
Please can you provide the data with the following breakdown:

Please could you provide the information in the form of an CSV or other spreadsheet file.

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request. If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined, I would be grateful for any further advice and assistance.
