The Future Workforce in Obstetrics and Gynaecology England and Wales. (2009)<br />

RCOG.<br />

The clinical standards have been defined for the same three clinical areas (Emergency<br />

Surgery and A&E, Maternity and Paediatrics) to support the visions. Delivery of the clinical<br />

standards creates the need for changes that drive the hospital reconfiguration proposals,<br />

ultimately leading to improved clinical outcomes for patients as well as improved<br />

experiences for both patients and staff.<br />

7.34 Consultation<br />

A public Consultation on three options was undertaken during the summer and autumn of<br />

2012.<br />

These paragraphs consider the proposal in the consultation document that all major<br />

hospitals will have a consultant-led maternity unit.<br />

Respondents were asked how far they support or oppose the recommendation that all major<br />

hospitals in North West London should have consultant-led maternity units, with an extra<br />

consultant-led maternity unit at Queen Charlotte‟s and Chelsea Hospital if Hammersmith<br />

Hospital is not a major hospital.<br />

Figure 7.48 shows that this question was answered by 4,564 respondents, and a large<br />

majority support the proposal (75%). However, this view is not strongly held, and<br />

respondents are more likely to „tend to support‟ than „strongly support‟ this proposal (47%<br />

and 28% respectively). One in twenty of the respondents answering this question oppose<br />

the proposal (5%), giving a net support score of +70 percentage points.<br />
