Abstract

Information about postnatal home visiting is presented from a postal survey of all directors of midwifery in English NHS districts, carried out in April and May 1991.

What was meant by ‘selective’ varied greatly, however, and the study highlighted the need to carry out audits of postnatal midwifery visiting.
