Intrapartum care for women with existing medical conditions or obstetric complications and their babies

Resource impact statement

No significant resource impact is anticipated

We do not expect this guideline to have a significant impact on resources; that is:

• the resource impact of implementing any single guideline recommendation will be less than £1 million per year in England (or £1,800 per 100,000 population) and
• the resource impact of implementing the whole guideline in England will be less than £5 million per year (or £9,100 per 100,000 population).

This is because we do not think practice will change substantially as a result of this guideline, and where clinical practice does change as a result of this guideline, there will not be a significant change in resource use. Any additional costs are likely to be offset by savings and benefits.

Maternity services are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups. Providers are NHS hospital trusts.
