Survey: Almost 80% of women 'trust maternity staff'

Here are some of the key findings of a major survey by the Care Quality Commission of women's experiences of maternity services:

• A quarter said they were left alone at a time that worried them during labour and birth (up from 22 percent in 2010)
• Almost one in five said their concerns were not taken seriously
• 77 percent felt they were always involved in decisions about their care (up from 74 percent in 2010)

• 71 percent were able to move around and find a position that made them most comfortable during labour and birth
  
• 78 percent said they definitely had confidence and trust in the staff caring for them during labour and birth (up from 73 percent in 2010)
