Yes, but the score system is not used as, by definition, those giving birth at home fall within the normal outcome categories. An agreed allowance of midwife time is used for all home births which includes all antenatal and postnatal care. Where a woman who had planned a home birth is transferred to hospital care, the community midwife time for antenatal and postnatal care is used in the staffing calculations.
