The RCM launched its first State of maternity services report with an event at the House of Commons late last year, attended by key political stakeholders.
The report, which will be published annually, looks at a number of indicators of the pressures on maternity care and the resources available to cope in each of the four UK countries.
Significant findings include the increase in the number of births, the trend in older mothers and the increasing pressures this presents to maternity care.
