It would be interesting to know if a hospital would give out the stats if asked. I'll have to ask if that info can be supplied, it is certainly no secret to those of us who work there, in the public system at least. I am studying parenting education and in one of the classes I sat in on the midwife read out the stats, albeit from a few years ago, to the whole class. We do a gallon-load of paperwork to enable these stats to be figured out.
