Should c/s rates be published? Naming & shaming...

[paradise lost]

In terms of figures i'd want to know:

C-sections termed emergency
C-sections termed elective
C-sections termed elective with pre-existing medical condition (that one would be an eye-opener! As Kelly says, it's less than 1% of electives who are maternal-request for no medical reason!)
Vaginal births
Drug-free births
Epidural uptake
Labour artificially initiated
Labour artificially augmented
Instrumental birth rate by mode (forceps/ventouse)
episiotomy rate
2nd-4th degree tearing rates
midwife to patient ratios
ob to patient ratios
anaesthatist to patient ratios
average and mean times from prescription to birth of emergency c-sections

Think that's all for me....

Not wanting to sound like a broken record or anything, but this is the THIRD TIME I have had to come in here and post about keeping it on topic. I have removed several posts and this is honestly getting beyond a joke - if you feel that you cannot keep to the topic or cannot control your emotions, then please refrain from posting any further in this thread.
