Summary

Over the last 4 years the St Mary’s Maternity Information System (Maresh et al 1986) has been introduced into all NHS Maternity Units in North West Thames Health Region (NWT), except those in the Special Health Authorities. Data for over 37,000 births in 1988 is now available for analysis. This paper describes the development of the system, its present status and a new method of presenting data to allow comparison of practice between units.
