The Ministry of Health Maternity Standards 2011

A set of standards to guide the planning, funding and monitoring of maternity services by the Ministry of Health and District Health Boards.  We believe that all 3 standards are not being met in the Wellington/Hutt/Wairarapa districts because women have not got a varied choice of where to birth, particularly not for primary birth.
