In NSW the annual Mothers and Babies Report is available on the
government website. It makes very interesting reading, not just C/S rates,
but inductions, spontaneous labour rates, 3rd degree tears,
ages etc.

C/S Rates
Dear all,
Is there any way in which a state's Private
Hospitals Caesarean Section rate can be accessed legitimately. I recall
that Marsden Wagner's visit in the 90's caused a stir because he was able
to access this information and report it. Has this changed in any way? How
did he get this information? I noticed Mary Murphy's posting and was
shocked by the 12% increase in C/S rates in one year. Also is there any
way to access the total % of people taking up private insurance within
individual states from one year to the next?
Cheers,
Jackie
