Maternity inquiry: Call for evidence
The inquiry issued its call for evidence in April 2007. It asked three broad open-ended questions:
- do you think there are aspects of maternity services that are not as safe for women and their babies than they should be? If so, what are the main problems?
- how do you think the safety of maternity services can be improved?
- can you identify any factors or issues that make it hard to introduce changes to improve the safety of maternity services?
The inquiry received 591 responses from individual professionals working in maternity services. Analysis of these responses has been published alongside this report.

In addition, the inquiry received and reviewed 29 written responses from organisations with an interest in this area. Some of the organisations gave us permission to publish their responses.
