This report details the findings of a scoping exercise to better understand miscarriage care in Scotland within this Health Board. The individual Health Board reports and the national report seek to aid policy makers and Health Boards in making decisions about improvements to Miscarriage Care


Gestation at which miscarriage care is provided

All sites in Scotland were asked to provide an approximation of the gestation at which miscarriage care is provided at their site. There was wide variation in responses particularly among sites that do not currently collect data on gestation. The average approximations of gestation at which miscarriage care is provided are presented in Table 4 below.
