    The data displays in the Scottish Pregnancy, Births and Neonatal Data (SPBAND) Dashboard have been developed in response to commitment 67 in The Best Start: five year plan for maternity and neonatal care that: ‘national level maternity and neonatal dashboards should be developed to facilitate benchmarking and reduce variations in care’. For the most part the data shown is the same as in the Pregnancy and Births and babies sections of the previously-provided Wider Impacts of COVID dashboard, which is being updated for the last time at the start of Sep 2023 and then retired. The Stillbirths and infant deaths data is now based on data released quarterly by National Records of Scotland. The Location of extremely preterm deliveries now includes babies born at 22 weeks gestation as well as those born at 23-26 weeks inclusive.
