What is it?
The NMPA are no longer commissioned to produce Rapid Quarterly Reporting.
The aim was to provide timely information on maternity care practices and the outcomes of women and families using NHS maternity services in England. It used a national administrative database to report results for each NHS hospital and nationally. The data was more timely but less detailed than the data used for our Clinical Audit results for England.
Example questions
Example questions these results can answer:
“Has the percentage of deliveries resulting in a 3rd or 4th degree tear changed in the last year in England?”
“What percentage of births in my local NHS hospital were preterm in the most recent 12 months?”
What data are available?
The NMPA is no longer commissioned to produce Rapid Quarterly Reporting Results.
The most recent data available is from 1st November 2019 to 31st October 2021.
How is it shown?
Data are shown at national and NHS hospital (Trust) level. There is one table which shows national results for the most recent 12 months, and the 12 months prior to that for comparison. Similar tables are also presented for each NHS hospital, with accompanying graphics showing whether the hospital’s results are higher or lower than expected.
