Abstract

Primary Health Care

Lead Maternity Care model

The Lead Maternity Care model fails to provide good maternity care for the most vulnerable women. Whilst in 2011 87% of all women had a lead maternity carer (LMC), only 65% of Samoan women had an LMC, and for all women who had an LMC only 61.8% (45% of Māori and 35% of Pacific) registered in the first trimester.
