Dear Becca,
Q4, I understand there are many reasons why women choose to have a repeat elective caesarean but it is always her choice (informed consent). Please could an answer for Q4 be provided.
Q5 can I have the stats for actual place of birth or do I need to submit a new FoI request?
With thanks,
Rachel James
