Description
In February 2001, the Scottish Executive published A Framework for the Maternity Services in Scotland (Scottish Executive, 2001) . The Framework set out a plan for the delivery of maternity care in Scotland. The Report of the Expert Group on Acute Maternity Services (EGAMS) recommended how the principles of the Framework should be implemented (Scottish Executive, 2002). The EGAMS agreed that the current configuration of maternity services in Scotland is no longer sustainable because of the falling birth rate and workforce constraints. It suggested a need to organise services so that appropriate care could be provided locally, with tertiary services organised on a regional basis.The EGAMS recommended that all maternity services staff should be given appropriate support, training and education to maintain the appropriate skills and competencies to ensure that appropriate care may be given within the different levels and locations of intrapartum care.
