National maternity and perinatal audit
The National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (NMPA) is a large-scale audit of NHS maternity services across England, Scotland and Wales. The NMPA uses information routinely collected as part of maternity care, combined with information collected when women and birthing people and their babies are admitted to hospital. The audit produces outputs that can be used by commissioners and providers of maternity services, as well as to support women and birthing people and their families to use the data within their decision making.
