Summary
18/09/2014: Figures for NHS Wiltshire were incorrectly provided for Q4 2013/14 by the CCG.
Figures have not been revised as the national impact of the changes is very limited. Specifically 268 maternities had been incorrectly submitted as smoking at the time of delivery instead of not smoking. The following text highlights the changes needed for NHS Wiltshire and Bath, Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire Area Team. These are also footnoted within the relevant tables. The changes needed for England and the South of England are negligible.
Table 5: Number of women smoking at time of delivery for NHS Wiltshire CCG in Q4 2013/14 should be 139. The corresponding percentage of women smoking at time of delivery should be 12.3%. Number not smoking at time of delivery should be 992 and the percentage should be 87.6%.
The corresponding correct figures for Bath, Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire Area Team are 458, 11.9% 3,354 and 87.4%.
Table 6: Number of women smoking at time of delivery for NHS Wiltshire CCG in 2013/14 should be 584. The corresponding percentage of women smoking at time of delivery should be 12.7%. Number not smoking at time of delivery should be 4,004 and the percentage should be 87.2%.
The corresponding correct figures for Bath, Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire Area Team are 1,900, 12.1%, 13,698 and 87.5%.

This report presents the latest results and trends from the women's smoking status at time of delivery (SATOD) data collection in England. It includes revised data for the first, second and third quarters of 2013-14, in addition to new data for quarter 4 and data for the whole year 2013-14.
The results provide a measure of the prevalence of smoking among pregnant women at Commissioning Region, Area Team and Clinical Commissioning Group level. This supplements the national information available from the quinquennial Infant Feeding Survey (IFS).
Smoking remains one of the few modifiable risk factors in pregnancy. It can cause a range of serious health problems, including lower birth weight, pre-term birth, placental complications and perinatal mortality.
Reports in the series prior to 2011-12 quarter 3 are available from the Department of Health website (see below).
