MBRRACE-UK perinatal mortality surveillance report: UK perinatal deaths for births in 2014

The second MBRRACE-UK (Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries across the UK) national perinatal surveillance report was launched at the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in London on 17 May 2016. The report, which received wide coverage in the media, relates to births in 2014. This year there were a number of new features. Probably the most significant change is that the report contains information by both local areas and individual trusts and health boards: last year this information for births in 2013 was published in two separate reports.
