Parents to rate maternity services 
Expectant parents can now compare and rate maternity services on a new online comparison service launched by Public Health Minister Anne Milton. The Government recently set out proposals to extend maternity choice to include pre-conception, antenatal, and postnatal care. A new tool that will help parents-to-be make that choice is now available to give people all the information they need to decide which maternity service is right for them. 
With thousands of visits to maternity services every month, and similar to other internet comparison websites, the tool will make it easier to find key information in one place, such as opening times and additional facilities and services offered by the maternity services. Patients will also be able to read other people’s comments about:

• How highly they would recommend the service;

• How well patients are treated by staff
• If patients felt they were involved in decisions about their care.Anne Milton, explained,  "Expectant people having babies have a lot to organise anyway, let alone trying to find the right maternity services for them.”
