Description:	<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The National Patient Survey Programme is one of the largest patient survey programmes in the world. It provides an opportunity to monitor experiences of health and provides data to assist with registration of trusts and monitoring on-going compliance. Understanding what people think about the care and treatment they receive is crucial to improving the quality of care being delivered by healthcare organisations. One way of doing this is by asking people who have recently used the health service to tell the Care Quality Commission (CQC) about their experiences.<br> <br>The CQC will use the results from the surveys in the regulation, monitoring and inspection of NHS acute trusts (or, for community mental health service user surveys, providers of mental health services) in England. Data are used in CQC Insight, an intelligence tool which identifies potential changes in quality of care and then supports deciding on the right regulatory response. Survey data will also be used to support CQC inspections.<br> <br> Each survey has a different focus. These include patients' experiences in outpatient and accident and emergency departments in Acute Trusts, and the experiences of people using mental health services in the community.<br> <br> <i>History of the programme<br></i><br> The National Patient Survey Programme began in 2002, and was then conducted by the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI), along with the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection (CHAI). Administration of the programme was taken over by the Healthcare Commission in time for the 2004 series. On 1 April 2009, the CQC was formed, which replaced the Healthcare Commission.<br> <br> Further information about the National Patient Survey Programme may be found on the CQC <a href="http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/surveys" title="Patient Survey Programme" ,="" target="_blank">Patient Survey Programme</a> web pages.<br> <br> </p> The <i>Maternity Survey, 2013</i> looked at all three stages of the maternity pathway and covered care provided before birth (antenatal), during labour and birth, and in the first few weeks after birth (postnatal). The survey asked questions which recent mothers told the CQC were important to them, concerning: access to care, communication, involvement in decision making, continuity and quality of care, amongst other key themes.<br> <br> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> The questionnaire covered timings of the birth; antenatal care; labour and birth; postnatal care; feeding; care at home after birth; and basic demographic information.<br> <br> For anonymity and confidentiality reasons a number of variables have been removed or recoded: question A1 has been removed as it contains potentially disclosive information; C6_name has been removed as it contains potentially disclosive information; G2-G8 have been removed as they contain potentially disclosive information and due to very low numbers at trust level for many sub groups; and G1 has been recoded to use information from the sample file where this was missing and grouped.<br> <br> Users should note that approval for the 2013 survey was obtained under Section 251 of the NHS Act 2006. This approval allows the common law duty of confidentiality to be put aside in order to enable the processing of patient identifiable information without consent. The approval granted does not allow the Care Quality Commission to share any variables that have been removed from the dataset.
