“Maternity Matters: Choice Access and Continuity of Care in a safe environment” has introduced a new national choice guarantee for women. This means that by 2009 all women will have choice in where and how they have their baby, and what pain relief to use, depending on their individual circumstances.
I understand Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals National Health Service Trust will work in accordance with the guidelines of “Maternity Matters” to ensure there is a clear understanding of the choice of local midwifery and obstetric services.
