Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) Safety Action 2: new data files
To help Trusts understand to what extent they meet the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) Data Quality Criteria for Safety Action 2, we have begun publishing two new data files each month which contain information for data providers showing their performance against all MSDS-derived Safety Action 2 criteria.
The files containing January 2022 data were added to this publication on 10 June 2022.
Updated versions of these files were added to this publication on 22 June 2022 to include a correction to the Ethnicity DQ outputs, as 32 providers had previously been incorrectly showing in the files as having met this criteria when they had not.

Antenatal booking appointments
Gestational age at booking appointment
At the booking appointment, the woman will be given information relating to the baby's development stages, nutrition and screening tests available.
NICE recommends that this appointment should ideally take place before 10 weeks' gestation.
53% of booking appointments were at or before 10 weeks' gestation.
Booking after more than 20 weeks of pregnancy accounted for 7% per cent of booking appointments.
Smoking Status of Women at booking appointment
Smoking during pregnancy, or living with someone who smokes, can affect the baby both before and after birth.
At the time of their booking appointment, 12% of women with a recorded smoking status were smokers, and 88% were non-smokers.
Of all women 71% had a recorded smoking status.
Complex social factors
12% of women attending a booking appointment had complex social factors recorded
Women with complex social factors may need additional support to use antenatal care services. 6,895 women attending a booking appointment had complex social factors recorded and 48,530 had a recording of no complex social factors. The remaining women did not have a complex social factor recorded.
Personalised care
The NHS Long Term Plan and the accompanying guidance, Universal Personalised Care, made commitments to delivering choice and personalisation in maternity services, complimenting the recommendations in the national maternity review, Better Births
When a Personalised Care and Support Plan (PCSP) has been agreed, this should be recorded and submitted.
110 trusts have reported that PCSPs are in place for a total of 87,380 women. This is the same number of trusts as last month.
Administrative Sources
Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS): this is a patient-level data set that captures information about activity carried out by Maternity Services relating to a mother and baby(s), from the point of the first booking appointment until mother and baby(s) are discharged from maternity services. This is a secondary uses data set, which re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care.
