To ask the Scottish Executive how many women gave birth (a) in an obstetric unit, (b) in a community maternity unit and (c) at home in (i) 2007-08 and (ii) 2008-09.
Answer
This information is not collected or held centrally for parts (a) and (b), however, we would expect NHS boards to record this information on an individual basis.
With regard to part (c), General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) confirm that:
(i) 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 there were 868 births
(ii) 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009 there were 888 births.
These figures apply to non-institution births, most of which are home births. There are however occasions where births occur elsewhere such as en-route to hospital or in a relatives home.
