<p>NHS England’s three-year delivery plan for maternity and neonatal services outlines
an ambition to reduce inequalities for all in access, experience, and outcomes, and
provide targeted support where health inequalities exist. As part of this plan, NHS
England will utilise several metrics to track the impact on maternity and neonatal
outcomes based on ethnicity, to measure progress towards improving equity for mothers
and babies. These metrics are of sufficient sensitivity and statistical power to track
changes in clinical outcomes for the groups most at risk of adverse outcomes.</p><p>Ethnic
coding data completeness has improved year on year since 2019, helping to better understand
health outcomes for different ethnic groups. NHS Resolution’s Maternity Incentive
Scheme safety action two also sets a data quality standard to improve ethnic coding
data completeness.</p>
