Summary

This is the first report on mothers and babies in NSW to combine the annual reports of the NSW Midwives Data Collection, the Neonatal Intensive Care Units' Data Collection and the NSW Birth Defects Register. Information on maternal deaths in NSW was obtained through the work of the NSW Maternal and Perinatal Committee and is also included.

For the first time, the report includes a chapter on infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. The report also includes information on recent trends in the health of mothers and babies, and separate chapters covering Area Health Service of mother's residence, Aboriginal mothers and babies, mother's country or region of birth, birth defects and individual hospitals in NSW.
