Abstract
In this third (and final) paper based on an analysis of the contents of the Archive of Locally Based Perinatal Surveys, we consider a response to the demand for information about resources for perinatal health care. We suggest a minimum set of data which health authorities might regularly collect and present for this purpose. We stress that the imminent implementation of the recommendations on information about patients by the Steering Group on Health Services Information makes even more urgent the need for standard data about the facilities for their care.
