Three audit indicators were summarised, relating to key standards of pre-pregnancy care: HbA1c, intake of folic acid and booking at less than 10 weeks gestation. Proportions were calculated from the total number of pregnancies notified at each unit. The funnel plots were plotted using the software developed by the Eastern Public Health Observatory [8]. Funnel plots were created showing units falling outside the 2SD warning limits and 3SD control limits. The information was also visually displayed as colour coded bar charts.
