Abstract

A study to ascertain how the community based antenatal services in the East End of Glasgow related to the guidelines set by a Working Party on Ante-Natal and Intrapartum Care (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, 1982) is reported. All community based clinics were visited and described. The socio-economic status of the sample population was defined and users' views and preferences sought. The women sampled were often socially and economically disadvantaged. Unemployment was high. They received their community antenatal care from midwives, general practitioners and consultants in both health centres and general practitioner surgeries. Women were generally satisfied with the care they received. Answers to more specific questions indicated, however, that more information and individualised care would be appreciated.
