A quarter of women in England are left alone during labour and birth at a time that worries them, according to an official survey.
The finding comes from a poll of 23,000 women by the Care Quality Commission, which is carried out every three years.
While care improved on many antenatal and postnatal measures, the regulator said it was concerned about what was happening in the delivery room.
Midwife leaders said the problems were directly linked to a shortage of staff.
