Dear Ms Shaw

In response to your letter about Post Pregnancy Hysterectomy Support, I would be grateful if I could have further details of how the figures you ahve requested are likely to be utalised. Without further detail I will be unable to approach our legal team to debate and discuss if the information you have requested can indeed be shared.

May I point out that some of the information can be obtained fromthe Dr foster Good Birth website, www.drfoster.co.uk and the numbers of maternal deaths can similarly be obtained from the Confidential Enquires into Maternal Deaths.

I hope thisis of some help to you.

Yours Sincerely

(signed)

Mrs Angela South
Acting Head of Midwifery/Matron
