Healthcare Commission

Results of a survey carried out by the Healthcare Commission to find out what women think about the maternity care they have received.


Significantly a lot above the average for England.

Significantly above the average for England.

Not significantly different from the average for England.

Significantly below the average for England.

Significantly a lot below the average for England.

Because the sample sizes are quite small, a number that deviates from the average for England is not necessarily statistically significantly different from the English average.
Two trusts may show the same percentage response, but it is possible that only one of them is marked as significantly different to the English average. This is because the survey sample size varies with trust.
This data should not be used to rank trusts (generate league tables) as the precise ordering can not be ascertained due to the inherent inaccuracies of small sample surveys.

Survey results by trust.      Survey results by question.
