Mr. Carter mentioned international guidelines and gave a much more inflated number than the INMO. He said that in uncritical or uncomplicated cases the ratio was 1:46. I think that is the number he gave. Where are these numbers coming from, because they are hugely at variance with the INMO figures? The INMO corresponded to the committee and the outcomes of its survey of the 19 public maternity units are of huge concern.
