The National Institute for Clinical Excellence have just produced their
new draft guidelines - see

http://www.nice.org.uk/pdf/CS_NICEguideline_1stconsultation.pdf

NICE is the statutory UK body who review clinical practices, medicines
etc. for the National Health Service.

Have looked at it briefly.  There are some intresting recommendations -
like women should be offered a home birth as it reduces the incidence of
CS, that active managment of labour, use of oxytocics and amniotomy
should not form part of routine care, and there is a long list of the
risks of sections, in nice plain english, and which contradict some
misconceptions e.g. women with a section are more likely to have bladder
and urinary tract injuries.
