As part of our COVID-19 response, Public Health Scotland created a data dashboard showing wider impacts of COVID-19 at https://scotland.shinyapps.io/phs-covid-wider-impact/.

This includes data on many aspects of maternity care in Scotland including:

• breastfeeding
• stillbirths, neonatal and infant deaths
• antenatal bookings (numbers and average gestation; from the Antenatal Booking Collection)
• terminations of pregnancy (numbers and average gestation)
• births (gestation, type (including C-section), whether induced, Apgar scores <7, perineal tears and extremely preterm deliveries at sites with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; NICU).
