Information requested

You asked 'I was hoping you could give me all Scottish Government policy that is maternity related and standards that local NHS authorities must adhere too for expectant mothers and especially those that are already in labour'.

Then when asked for clarification around which Scottish government policy you were most interested in you stated 'Everything related just directly to pregnancy. I am just interested in clinical and medical standards and other standards the government may have put in place directly related to pregnancy.'
