Establishment of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) / Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs), and abolition of CCGs and STPs, as of July 2022
Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) were formally established across the NHS in England on 1 July 2022, with the introduction of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs), and abolition of CCGs.
Further information around the introduction of ICBs and ICPs is available via the relevant Organisation Data Service (ODS) page here.
The derivations necessary to support reporting under the new commissioning structures have been completed and this publication has now been updated to include ICB (LMNS) and sub-ICB breakdowns in the CSV Data and Measures files.

Data quality note - BMI recording
Following the identification of a data quality issue in the BMI_14+1Wks measure in this publication which was leading to some women being incorrectly assigned to higher BMI categories than they should have been, we have updated the construction of this measure to correct for this. More information about this updated logic can be found in the accompanying Metadata file.
This data quality issue led to some incorrect BMI_14+1Wks figure originally being reported in this July data. This has now been corrected and this publication has been updated to include revised BMI figures in the Measures file.

Delivery method
The decision on the method of delivery should take into account women's needs and preferences. Caesarean sections can be performed electively, or as an emergency where it is clinically required.
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.
